Product Description
"Well," said Claire, "there was a very big, bad wolf . . .
Claire has hurt her knee so she sets off home to tell her mum all about it. On the way she meets her friends and tells them how the fall happened. But just how did it happen . . .? Was she dropped by a wolf, a slithering snake, an enormous dragon or a hairy gorilla?! By the author and illustrator of the bestselling PEACE AT LAST and WHATEVER NEXT, this is a fantastic journey of the imagination that every child can relate to.

Jill Murphy's books sell in their hundreds of thousands. She is perhaps best known for her classic Worst Witch stories which she started writing when she was fifteen but she is also a hugely successful picture book author and illustrator. PEACE AT LAST (978-0-230-01548-7) was her first picture book for Macmillan and was commended in the 1980 Kate Greenaway Medal. She went on to win the Smarties Prize for THE LAST NOO-NOO (Walker). Jill lives in Cornwall with her son.
Customer Reviews
One of the best!
A fabulous book teaching children about the disadvantages of 'fibbing' - and how the smallest fibs can grow and grow. A harmless finish with nothing startling and no 'lectures' on the morals of the story. Recommended for every household. Perhaps a little long, but you can easily skip a few pages for the smaller children initially! A definite favourite in my household.

Beautiful and inspiring - a joy to read
Claire has a cut on her knee and she sets off home to tell her mum all about it but on the way she meets many friends and tells them weird and wonderful stories about how she came to have a bad knee including a crocodile attack, being kidnapped by a witch and a misdemeanour with a gorilla. It's a beautifully-illustrated, inspiring tale that will wet a child's imagination. A real joy to read.
