Reach for this book when you want to transform a child's anxiety about 'the big bad wolf' into fits of giggles. Suddenly! is the perfect choice for children who enjoy slapstick humor and the thrill of a close call. The story follows Preston, a charmingly oblivious piglet, as he runs errands for his mother. Unbeknownst to him, a hungry wolf is just inches away at every turn, yet Preston accidentally thwarts the villain's plans through simple, everyday actions. It is a masterful exercise in dramatic irony that helps children feel powerful and clever as they 'see' the danger coming while the hero remains blissfully unaware. This is pure, joyful entertainment for preschoolers and early elementary students.
