Three well-known fairytales have been turned on their head in this beginner reader. We meet Wortel Wolf, the main character in The three little pigs, Red Riding Hood and The boy who cried Wolf. Three little pigs move in and Wortel decides the neighbourly thing to do is to introduce himself. He meets a distraught Red Riding Hood in the forest and saves oom Jan's sheep from being attacked by a scary jackal!

'Die bekende sprokies Die drie varkies, Rooikappie en Die seun wat Wolf! geskree het word in hierdie beginnerleesboek op hulle kop gekeer. Wortel, die vegetariese wolf, is die hoofkarakter in al drie verhale. Hy klop aan om knoffel vir sy sop te leen by drie varkies wat in sy straat intrek. Hy loop Rooikappie in die bos raak net toe gevaar dreig en in Namakwaland help red hy oom Jan se skape uit die kloue van 'n . . . jakkals!' -- Publisher.
