The twist in the tail is a brilliant ending in this deliciously original new take on a traditional tale. Can the Good Little Wolf be made into a real wolf by the Big Bad Wolf? It looks like he can - and he can use his badness to a good end. So, the moral is, the Good Little Wolf has the last laugh? But does he?
Once upon a time there was a wolf called Rolf - a good little wolf who liked baking cakes and was always kind to his friends. But real wolves aren't supposed to be good - they're supposed to be BIG and BAD. Can a good little wolf still be a real wolf? And will Rolf discover there's something big and bad lurking inside him after all?

Rolf are just a precursor to the wonderful twist at the end.' - Vanessa Lewis, The
