B.B. Wolf now lives in a Villain Villa Center. He gets an invitation to the library for storybook tea. He is at first hesitant but decides to go. When arriving all the other storybook characters are nervous and unsure of B.B. Wolf being there. In reality he turns out to be very polite. This is a great story to read when teaching manners. I love how storybook characters from other books are integrated into this book. The illustrations show the true emotion of all the other storybook characters. (

This hilarious read-aloud story is a gentle reminder for children still learning their manners. Wish I would have known about this book for when I was doing a read-aloud on manners at the beginning of the semester. Great for pre-k to 1st grade.

Summary: When B.B. Wolf, who now lives in the Villain Villa Retirement Residence, is invited to the library for a storybook tea, he is careful to follow the advice of his crocodile friend and impresses everyone with how polite he can be.

Genre: Fantasy

Critique: This is a good example of a fantasy because the animals are talking and drinking tea inside a library.

Theme: It is important not to misjudge people. The big bad wolf is actually quite polite and kind.

This fantasy book plays off of the Big Bad Wolf's previous reputation as being without manners. It's a very cute book about attending a tea at the library and B.B. Wolf surprises everyone by behaving very politely.

This book revolves around the main character, B.B Wolf who is invited to a tea party at the library. He reads a book about etiquette and learns to follow manners at the table. When he gets to the party he accidentally burps but makes up for it in the end by saying "excuse me", and shows the party goers how polite he is. This is a funny book to read to young children and can be used to teach them about proper etiquette as well.

BIG BAD WOLF, now old and residing in the Villain Villa Senior Center, is invited to a tea by a children's librarian. His best friend, a toothsome crocodile, warns him that he will have to mind his manners. B. B. Wolf makes up a song: "Sip your tea and never slurp, say 'excuse me' if you burp. Smile and have a lot of fun, but don't go biting anyone." He remembers to say "please" and "thank you" and he gives a nervous Red Ridinghood, Three Little Pigs, and Gingerbread Boy his biggest smile ever, but when his stomach starts to gurgle, he gets a little mixed-up about what to do when you burp. This hilarious read-aloud story is a gentle reminder for children still learning their manners.
