The Wolf Who Cried Boy by Bob Hartman

This story was about a little wolf who was tired of eating the same “lamburgers,” “three-pig salad,” and “sloppy does” every night and was hungry for boy. His parents explained that boys never came around the woods anymore so he was going to have to make do with their supper unless he found a boy walking in the woods. The next day he told his parents he saw a boy so they both rushed out to catch him. After they came home empty handed their supper was ruined so they had to eat snack food. The little wolf liked the outcome of this so he said the same thing the next day. After his parents caught on they would not listen to him when he saw a whole boy-scout troop outside, and the little wolf learned his lesson of telling lies. This story has a great lesson to learn on its own but would be great to compare and contrast to the original version of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf.”
