in praise of "clever polly adn the stupid wolf"

[coderoo]

as given to me by Tamum
this is such a funny book
the dialogue is hilariosu
a dn its out of print

loev the one where the wolf makes up different nursery rhymes

it's hilarious

dd often brings it home from school (there's also a second book - something like more stories from clever polly and the stupid wolf)

dd and I chuckle out loud when we read it together

oh i want antoher one
ay oen got ab old one i can buy?

my faves are where he dresses up as someone else (like granny) and tries to fool her!

I loved this book as a child!

he is so well wpoken thoguh adn the argumetnsa re so funny
i laugh more than ds i htink

they are brilliant - he sounds so convinced that he will get her each time

I didn't realise it was out of print

Looks like there are a few . I love this one too - had it when I was little, and love reading it to DD.

they are all teh same book you twit!

Oh bother - try this instead - but it's got some non-Polly/wolf books that I tried to refine the search and get rid of. Scroll down...

Thanks for the recommendation Cod - have just this minute bought a copy off ebay for £1.99 inc postage

yes yes yes! I loved them as a child and loved reading them with dd and ds and I still like reading them now! Brilliant books

in the fillm whou would we cast as
a)
polly

B)
the wolf - am thinking alan rickman

It is a great book. DS loves it.

Alan rickman's too intelligent to be the wolf, surely. How about Timothy Spall? (not that he's not intelligent - quite the reverse).

but not urbane enough

we need beety to cast

I love it

I do Baldrick as the Wolf when I read it to dd2

hm
no i see the wolf as rahter posh yet belittling

dd3 has middle name Polly in homage

oh hello...I don't know the book sadly otherwise I would

What about Gambon?

Polly would have to cast by girlfactor..the public would vote

actually my daughter woudl be perfect so maybe we could just have her!

withnail then

So who can do an urbane facade but a bit innocent/stupid underneath? Maybe Alan Rickman could. Bill Nighy? Too old maybe.

or bill nighy
