Why read it?
1 author picked Clever Polly And the Stupid Wolf as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A childhood favourite of mine and still a favourite now – this set of stories turns traditional fairytales on their heads and the person who might traditionally (sometimes still) be viewed as the weaker person and the more vulnerable person, actually wins the day and they win through using their wits.
Always a happy ending and shows how intelligent, not just clever, children and girls, in particular, can be.
From Judith's list on children’s stories with fantastic heroines.
