When a mother has to leave her seven kids at home while she gathers food, she warns them not to open the door unless they know it is her. A devious wolf outwits the kids by mimicking their mother and they open the door to a nasty surprise. However, a wolf with a belly full of kids is no match for an angry Mum.
Illustrated with lots of playful details and movement, this is as much a work of art as a story.
