언제나 먹을 것만 생각하는 식탐많은 늑대가 하루는 닭볶음탕이 몹시도 먹고 싶었습니다. 마침 길을 가는 암탉 한 마리를 발견하고는 냉큼 잡아서 닭볶음탕을 만들려다가, 좀 더 키워서 잡아 먹는 것이 좋겠다고 생각합니다. 그날부터 늑대는 백개의 팬케이크, 백개의 도너츠, 백파운드나 나가는 커다란 케익 등을 만들어서 매일매일 암탉의 집 문 앞에 갖다 놓았습니다. 마침내 암탉이 충분히 살쪘을 거라고 생각한 늑대는 암탉 집을 찾아갔습니다만, 그를 기다리는 것은 전혀 살찌지 않은 암탉과 100마리의 귀여운 병아리들이었습니다. 암탉과 병아리들은 밤마다 음식을 문 앞에 놓고 간 늑대에게 감사 인사와 함께 이 세상에서 가장 훌륭한 요리사라는 칭찬을 해줍니다. 칭찬을 잔뜩들은 늑대는 닭볶음탕을 만들어 먹을 생각은 포기하게 되고, 집으로 돌아와서는 암탉과 병아리들을 위한 새로운 간식거리를 만드네요...

Book Description
In an effort to fatten up Mrs. Chicken for his delicious stew, Wolf unwittingly makes some new friends. "The wolf is an endearing critter whose expressions run the gamut from sly to shy to downright lovable. A good option for story hours."--Booklist. Winner of the Kentucky Bluegrass Award. An ALA Notable Children's Book. Full color.


From Publishers Weekly
Wolf loves to eat almost more than anything else in the world. No sooner does he finish a meal, he's planning his next. He searches all day for a chicken for his stew. When he finally spies one, he hesitates and hatches a plan to fatten the bird, which will mean more stew. So he marshalls his considerable culinary skill and secretly delivers a succession of treats to the chicken's house: 100 scrumptious pancakes, doughnuts and pound cake. With each delivery he says: "Eat well, my pretty chicken. . . . Get nice and fat for my stew!" But a shock is in store for the wolf, and his next meal isn't quite what he'd planned. Sprightly watercolors illustrate this imaginative tale by a newcomer.


From School Library Journal
Resisting the immediate gratification of chicken stew, an insatiable wolf decides instead to fatten up his prey, leaving on her doorstep 100 ``scrumptious'' delicacies for each of three nights. On returning to claim his fat hen, he finds that her 100 chicks have shared the treats, and are now enamored of ``Uncle Wolf.'' Children will enjoy both the wolf's scheming and his comeuppance, as well as the story's repetitive form. The wolf's speech is problematic, though, as it switches from correct and somewhat formal usage (``Ah, she is just perfect for my stew'') to a sort of dialect (``Aw, shucks. . .I'll bake the little critters a hundred scrumptious cookies!''). Kasza's illustrations far surpass the story. Deft watercolors on wide open white pages, they convey the scheming wolf and the unflappable hen in a way that the text does not. The Wolf's Chicken Stew just needs a little more meat.
