A review by rachelcabbit
Clever Polly and the Stupid Wolf by Catherine Storr

4.0

This is the July Waterstones' Children's Book of the Month and while it is my first time reading it (I had not the pleasure of reading this during my childhood) I am glad that it was showcased and given some love from a modern readership. The book has never been out of print, but Catherine Storr's whimsical short stories about a small girl who regularly outsmarts a silly wolf obsessed with devouring little girls, is not one of those classic titles that springs to mind when listing children's books. It should be though.
I cannot wait to read this one day to my own future children.
The new edition from Puffin is packed with extras such as an excerpt from the sequel and facts about the author, wolves and the publishing of the book as well as quizzes and a recipe.
