The Wolf's Chicken Stew | |
Keiko Kasza was born on a small Japanese island in the Inland Sea of Japan. She grew up in a typical Japanese extended family with her parents, two brothers, and grandparents. Uncles, aunts, and cousins also lived nearby. "All the steps I took growing up were very normal," Ms. Kasza says. "The only unusual thing I did was go to college in the United States." She graduated with a degree in graphic design from California State University at Northridge. Ms. Kasza married an American, and the United States has been her home ever since.
After publishing five children's books in Japan and working as a graphic designer for fourteen years, Ms. Kasza decided in 1988 to devote her time to picture books. She says, "Having two small boys and two professions was too much to handle."
Ms. Kasza admires many great picture-book creators, such as Leo Lionni and Maurice Sendak, but says that the work of Arnold Lobel has influenced her the most. The subtle humor and warmth he created in his books continues to inspire me," she says. "I often go back to his work when I get discouraged or lose confidence."
Ms. Kasza compares the process of making a book to acting on stage under the lights:
"I become the character that I'm working on at that moment. I pretend that I'm a bird looking for a mother, or a pig trying to impress his girlfriend. When I'm acting, I'm a child myself."
Ms. Kasza's ambition is not to create a hundred books, but to "create one really good book that will be kept on the family bookshelves for generations, although a hundred really good books would be even better, of course!"
Keiko Kasza lives in Indiana with her husband and two sons.

钱没少掏，拿到的书那真叫袖珍。能不能下次
一只可怜的狼，比较搞笑~
Again, I used this teaching kindergarten and loved the book. I was pleased when it came. I was a little disappointed in the tear on the cover but is is taped and will last for as long as I will use it.
I used to read this book to my kindergarten and 1st graders when I was a school librarian. The children always thought it was funny, and they liked the surprise ending. I thought my granddaughter would enjoy it too, and she did. It's important to make young children enthusiastic readers and book lovers, and choosing books that they enjoy is half the battle!
This is a very cute story - I had never heard of this book until I saw it on my library's 50 books to read before kindergarten list. It helps kids understand the concept of 100 and teaches a great lesson about empathy at the same time. It is a regular in our reading rotation. Both kids (pre-K and second grader) love it.
This is a variation of the typical story where the wolf tries to trick an animal and make it its dinner. Illustrations are beautiful and story is comical and not scary at all for the very young. I enjoyed reading and rereading this to my grandchild!
I have read this to first and second graders and they loved it. Spoiler alert:The wolf cooks a chicken sweet food like cookies and cake to fatten her up for his dinner. But when he goes to the door the last night he finds that he has been feeding her chicks too, and they love him for it! He is nice Uncle Wolf! The children don't guess the end and are surprised and delighted by it. A great buy!
