“The wordplay flies fast and thick throughout this text and it’s dead–on for a young audience. — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

Wow. My very first picture book -- PIGGIE PIE!, is celebrating
it's fifteenth anniversary this year! It tickles me to know that
'Gritch' is still giving giggles.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2014Oh, but they most certainly are BAD BOYS.....so delightful watching them trying to fool the sheep!!! But they are the ones who get fooled in the end... a truly great story that all children of ALL ages will love!! A good one to read in conjunction with The Three Little Pigs and The True Story of the Three Little Pigs. The children will love the back and forth discussion of who is really bad in these stories!!

Bad Boys is a very funny take on wolves in sheep's clothing. The author,Margie Palatini is able to keep both children and adults interested in the story even if you have read it 10 times. This is a very big plus when there are toddlers in the house. The illustrations are good too. We highly recommend this and other books by this author. Try EarthQuack,SweetTooth,Bed Head.You won't be disappointed.

This author has a good sense of humour with many references to classic children’s stories ie, The Three Pigs and Little Bo Peep. Makes it fun to read
