Clever Polly and the Stupid Wolf

Product Information

I read this with the 8 year old I was babysitting and she really enjoyed it. A few old fashioned words like 'perambulator' which she struggled with but I explained what they meant. There were three sequels in the same format: Polly and the Wolf Again, Tales of Polly and the Hungry Wolf and Last Stories of Polly and the Wolf. She had met the psychiatrist and author Anthony Storr (1920–2001) during her training and married him in 1942. They had three daughters, Sophia, Polly and Emma, but divorced in 1970. She later married the economist Lord Balogh (1905–1985). [6] Shall I give it to a little boy who is interested in how things work?' the wolf suggested, cautiously wrapping the bomb up in the remains of the too-small paper bag. I believe this book is suitable for children in key stage 1 and lower key stage 2. It can be used in English for reading and writing. The book can be used as a comprehension in English lessons and the children can recall the key points from the book which would help assess the children’s understanding. It can also be used to assess children understanding of previous books. The book contains some moral messages which children can also refer to. It would be excellent to use for role-playing (Drama) and exploring dialogue between characters (mini plays in groups).

The Complete Adventures of Clever Polly and the Stupid Wolf

For his own part, the Wolf's conversations with Polly are the only real interaction he seems to have with anyone. All four Clever Polly books in one volume including Clever Polly and the Stupid Wolf, Polly and the Wolf Again, Tales of Polly and the Hungry Wolf and More Stories of Clever Polly and the Stupid Wolf. One of the joys of revisiting the tales as an adult is discovering that, like all really good children’s fiction (and films too), there are many levels to them. The wolf is simultaneously a dangerous wild animal, a sexual predator and an annoying little brother, slipping from one role to another within the space of a sentence. In the title story he is at one moment saying “I shall be in your bedroom before it’s light tomorrow morning, crunching up the last of your little bones,” and the next proudly telling Polly that he bought half a pound of beans “with my own money … all by myself”. You get a real sense of the wolf being truly threatening, sinister and cunning, but this is almost immediately dispelled, a few lines on, by his childlike pleasure in having managed some shopping on his own.
