A mysterious forest sound sets a curious girl and her timid younger
brother on an evening adventure with an unexpectedly heartwarming
outcome.
Alice and Jack are out playing catch when they hear a strange sound
coming from the forest. Jack wants to know what it could be, and Alice
decides to go find out. "But what if it's the Wicked Wolf?" Jack asks.
"Shhh," says Alice. "Everything is going to be all right." As the two go
deeper into the woods and get closer to the odd noise, Jack grows more
afraid. But Alice reassures him as she guides him along, and together
they make a surprising and sweet discovery. Author Timothy Knapman
balances the excitement of adventuring into the unknown with the comfort
of returning home safe and sound, while Helen Oxenbury's classically
charming illustrations make this a perfect bedtime book to share with
little explorers, both the brave ones and those who may need some
reassuring that everything is going to be all right.
