The Wolf and the Seven Young Lambs is a German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm. It has an strong resemblance to The Three Little Pigs and other Aarne-Thomspson type folktales, and to the variant of Little Red Riding Hood that the Grimms collected, where she is rescued.

A mother goat warns her children to be wary of the wolf while she is out shopping. The wolf comes and claims to be their mother. They tell him his voice is harsh, while hers is soft. He goes and eats a chunk of chalk to make it soft. They tell him his paws are black, while hers are white. He goes to the miller and gets flour on his paws. They let him in, and he, tearing apart the house to find them, swallows them all except the youngest, who hid in the clock.

The mother returns to the damage and the youngest emerges. She steps outside, and they find the wolf sleeping, and something struggling in his stomach. They cut him open, and the other six emerge alive. She puts in stones instead. When he wakes, he goes to a well to drink, and the stones drag him in, so he drowns.

Now your child can enjoy this timeless classic tale in Chinese. Each page contains charming, colorful cartoon illustrations, the Chinese characters and the Pinyin (phonetic transcriptions). You can upload the audio file of this book into your E-Teacher Talking Pen. You can download it from here.
