Bookroo's summary

In a playful twist on a classic fable, Whisper the wolf shares his side of the story, revealing that the shepherd boy misunderstood his intentions. Was the boy really crying wolf, or was there more to the tale? As Whisper recounts his friendly visits to the sheep, readers are invited to question perspectives and uncover the truth behind the cries. This humorous retelling challenges assumptions and encourages a fresh look at a well-known story, leaving readers to ponder who was truly deceiving whom.

From the publisher

So who was really pulling the wool over whose eyes? The Wolf gets candid about “the boy who cried” in this fractured version of a classic Aesop’s fable, delighting readers with his first-person account, while back matter questions encourage discussion about perspective. Includes a condensed version of the original tale.
