looking for a new take on the bedtime stories of your youth? check out Mind Your Manners, B.B. Wolf written by judy sierra. i should preface this by saying that it is illustrated by j.otto seibold, and i will pretty much buy anything he draws.the story opens with B.B. Wolf (the big bad wolf, if you hadn't guessed), receiving an invitation to the library's annual storybook tea. he nervously considers attending and goes over some proper etiquette tips with his pal, crocodile.
once at the party, the story fills with cameos by all your favorite storybook characters including little red riding hood, the three pigs, and a terrified gingerbread boy. all are on edge with the wolf's presence, but he soon impresses the librarian with his excellent manners.
kids love this one because it talks about burping (don't worry, it includes the etiquette involved after the offending eruption), and you'll love it because it has so many clever references to randoms like rumpelstiltskin and bo-peep within the amazing artwork.
