Mr Wolf fancies some tasty pancakes but he doesn't know how to make them. Asking his neighbours is no use - they're a mean and horrible lot who refuse to help. Poor Mr Wolf!

Here, a girl is not supposed to be a woodcutter. Or be brave enough to walk alone. Here, a wolf is not supposed to love to read. Or be curious enough to meet a human. And here, a story is nothing like the ones you read in books, for the witch can make the most startling tales come alive. All she needs is a girl from the village, a wolf from the forest, and a woodcutter with a nice, sharp axe. So take care, little lambs, if you step into these woods. For in the Puszcza, it is always as dark as the hour between night and dawn - the time old folk call the Wolf Hour.

This audiobook retells how the wolf's plan to get into the sheep pen backfires when the farmer butchers him for a lamb dinner.

As winter tightens its grip on the Green Meadow, food grows scarce and danger lurks behind every hedge and stone wall. Old Granny Fox, wise, watchful, and far more clever than she lets on, knows that survival in the cold months depends not on strength, but on patience, planning, and wit.

A hedgehog and a tortoise are both looking for a hug. They ask all the other animals they come across but for some reason no one will hug them. Until a wise owl explains: Hedgehog is too spiky; Tortoise is too bony. And that's when they find each other!

He is shuffled between masters throughout his life and taught to be destructive but is eventually shown love and compassion by a human and learns gentleness as an adult wolf.
