5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect book for a 7-year-old!
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2015
This book was recommended to me by two bookstore employees during a recent trip to London. I am so grateful to them: they were absolutely right! My 7-year-old granddaughter loved it and finished it in one sitting. I have already ordered the second book with Polly and the Wolf.

5.0 out of 5 stars We know it by heart!!!
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2000
We have survived many long driving tours all over the British Isles, Europe, America and Australia with four young children due in large part to this very clever and amusing cassette. This highly witty story - brilliantly read by Josie Lawrence - appeals to adults and children alike. Despite the fact that between us all we can recite the story in its entirety....we never tire of it! We would like to have a copy of this for each of our children, and would love to share it as a gift to many friends. Please, please make the cassette available again!

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone loves this cassette!
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 1999
My son and his four cousins, all male, have all memorized this cassette. One of them, 18, can recite nearly the whole book by memory. Derek Griffiths recites the story most beautifully. This recording has brought my family almost infinite pleasure, and we want to thank both him and Catherine Storr for the rendition. But how shall I replace our worn-out cassette? isabernardy@yahoo.co.uk

good book, good story, easy to read printing. The story itself is exciting for the young readers and visibly my son liked it so much that he intends to read the other books in the series too.

My children were beside themselves with laughter when I read this to them. They begged me to read on long after story time was over. Clever and silly enough for us all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clever Polly And A Really Funny Wolf
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 19, 2013
Verified Purchase
My six-year-old daughter is LOVING this collection of short stories from the 1950s. I bought it to read aloud to her, but she has pilfered it to read to herself, copy out extracts from it, draw pictures from it etc. etc.

The stories are the literary equivalent of a Road Runner cartoon. A wolf wants to eat Polly. Polly, a clever and resourceful little girl who lives an ordinary life in 1950s suburbia, manages to talk or act her way out of every life-threatening situation. The wolf, who gets most of his hunting information from out-of-date fairy tales like "Red Riding Hood" and "Three Little Pigs", simply cannot understand where he is going wrong.

It's like a modern update of classic folk tales such as Molly Whuppie and Clever Gretchen, where brave and resourceful young girls have to challenge and escape from villainous monsters. But still cosy enough to read at bed-time.

7+ years reading age, with a scattering of pen-and-ink illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite simply hilarious as well as entertaining
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 13, 2022
Verified Purchase
This book does not age. It's eponymous heroine is sassy and clever, without being precocious. And Wolf is just the best fall guy for Clever Polly's understated but always satisfying triumphs. You will enjoy reading this as much as the kids enjoy listening to it, if not more, because it is witty on both levels.
