«The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids» – a tale from the folk treasure chest. Be sure to introduce it to your little one!
The story about the wolf and the kids has a simple yet memorable plot. Mama goat leaves her little ones at home, strictly commanding them not to open the door to strangers. But the cunning wolf manages to deceive them and eat them, which, of course, he will regret at the end of the story. Good will prevail, and the naive little animals and our young readers will learn an important lesson: never open the door to anyone without adults.
The small, thin book is easy to take on the road or during a walk, allowing for a productive use of time. Parents will read it to the very youngest, while younger schoolchildren can practice reading by themselves. A large font is provided for this purpose. Children will enjoy looking at the cute illustrations, and at the same time, they will learn to count to seven, name colors, and identify animals in the pictures.
You can reinforce the educational effect with a role-playing game. Portray the sly animal trying to get into someone else's house, while the child must not let it in. This fairy tale is also great for a home puppet theater – the seven kids can «transform» into stuffed bears or any other toys in your performance.
