Sir Winston the Wolf 
Can a Big Bad Wolf Change His Ways?

Sir Winston is a book about a wolf that every child loves to hate. It is a ‘grab me book’
for all elementary students. Good readers will read it to see what the dirty old wolf is up
to now. Curiosity will of course keep them reading to see if Winston can possibly
change. Emergent and struggling readers will feel confident that this is a book they can
actually read and enjoy.

In the story readers will see a token appearance of The Three Little Pigs and the
Grandmother from the Little Red Riding Hood which lends credibility and familiarity to
this book. After reading a few pages, the reader will begin to see the wolf transform into
a person with feelings and emotions. As the book progresses, Winston grows into a
person with diverse feelings and emotions. Winston no longer feels sorry for himself.
He becomes a leader of people less fortunate than himself, and by helping others, he
starts to believe and feel good about himself. With the illustrations, the book will jump
alive. At the end of the story will he continue to be the wonderful wolf that is good to all
people or will the ending illustration signal thoughts of returning to his former life?
