This is the remake of the classic "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". I am more inclined to those original tales, but this was an alternate ending picture book for children. This could also be an activity or lesson on alternate endings for books. This has lots of vivid illustrations, which could help teachers introduce predicting in the classroom to keep students engaged. Even though, I felt like there was a few key elements missing, it is still a good read for children. ( )

As a child I had only hear "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" I had never actually read it, I just knew it was calling somebody a liar. This book is much different from the actual tale. In this book Betsy is the new Shepard in town and there is a wolf that is very hungry and very lonely. He tricks Betsy to make her cry wolf twice and each time she got in trouble for there not being a wolf around. The third time no one showed up, so she gave the wolf her lunch so he would not eat her sheep. After that she realized he did not really want to eat her sheep he was just hungry and lonely. They became friends and he helped her herd the sheep around. The illustration in this book was cute, I liked how he added the air bubbles from the sheep telling what they were thinking. ( )

Levine writes so well for children of all ages; I'd love to read something she aims at adults.  And Nash's illustrations were perfect for this.  It's a little too long for tots, but perfect for 2nd grade.  Funny, and smart.  And don't miss the endpapers with the extra wit! ( )

Betsy Cried Wolf is based on the fable the boy who Cried wolf. It gives it a turn around that is not exactly how he cried wolf. She learns about friendship and forgiveness. ( )

has lots of voice. so great for teaching voice. longer story so for higher grades such as 2nd and up. they thought wolf wanted to eat the sheep but he wanted pie ( )
