There's a Wolf at the Door

I am always looking for new alternate fairy tales and I came across There's a Wolf at the Door while searching for another title.

This story includes five chapters of an ongoing graphic novel story. Each story is told from the wolf's perspective about hunting for food and his feelings about the characters he meets. There are no breaks in the stories, each continues where the last left off. The stories begin with The Three Little Pigs, continue with The Boy Who Cried Wolf, move on to Little Red Riding Hood, falls into the Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, and finishes with the Wolf and Seven Little Goslings.

This is not an apologist story. The wolf is honest about his intent to eat the other characters. However, he does have some interesting stories to tell about the other characters. My favorite is his story about how the vain Red Riding Hood becomes more thoughtful after her encounter with him. One of my favorite moments was the sheep rescuing the boy in The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

This is another great addition to my list of alternate fairy tales.

Multicultural and Alternate Fairy Tales and Nursery Rhymes

As I was working on my list of Cinderella books which can be found here, I started to find other books, which didn't fit the list, but I wanted to be able to locate so I could share with others later. Since I thought parents and teachers might also have an interest, I thought I would start the list on my blog and keep adding to it as I found more titles that fit. I am finding this is one of the easiest ways to share information as I can always send a link without wondering where I saved the list on my computer.
