In this book for readers up to 8, a monstrous wolf is terrorizing the town of Gubbio. He eats all the sheep and goats, and when they run out of sheep and goats, he eats all the shepherds. He eats the knight they send to fight him, and even the army. But a gentle monk named Francis goes to speak with the wolf in his own language. The monk's message of love calms him, and soon "Brother Wolf" is ready to make peace, and becomes a valued citizen. Richard Egielski, the Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator of Pam Conrad's Tub People books, gives his telling of the story an old-world feel similar to the paintings of Maurice Sendak.
