The big bad wolf knows he rules the forest—but he likes to hear the others tell him so. He marches through the woods, asking: “Tell me, who is the strongest?” Everyone, from Little Red Riding Hood to the Three Little Pigs to the Seven Dwarfs, agrees he is the strongest, the toughest, the terror of the woods. So when “a little toad of some sort” stands up to him, the wolf is furious—then quickly learns his lesson.

This translation of an internationally bestselling picture book has expansive language, irresistibly cheeky characters and a sparky humour that will resonate with readers of te reo Māori—a great read-aloud for classrooms and families and a delightful story for anyone who’s known an overconfident wolf.

Mario Ramos (1958–2012) was one of Belgium's most influential picture book makers. He was born in Brussels to a Belgian mother and a Portuguese father. From early on he was fascinated by how much a small drawing can transmit: ""What interests me is to tell a story with pictures. With a pencil and paper, anything is possible."" He studied graphic communication, discovering the influential drawings of Saul Steinberg and Tomi Ungerer, then worked in illustration, publishing his first book in 1992. Ramos has since had numerous books published all over the world, and his awards include the Prix Versèle and the Prix des Critiques en Belgique. His birthday, 7 November, is celebrated in France and Belgium as Mario Ramos Day. Mario Ramos (1958–2012) was one of Belgium's most influential picture book makers.
