This irresistible book is about: a father; his five-year-old son, Michael (intelligent, crafty, addicted to stories); Michael`s best friend Stefan (stalwart listener, equally addicted to stories); &, well-what else?-a story. Oh, & a wolf. It is (it`s what Michael always demands) a Wolf Story, which begins one night at bedtime & spins wildly on through subsequent bedtimes & Sunday outings to the beach & park in a succession of ever more trickily tantalizing episodes. Waldo the wolf is sneaking up on Rainbow the hen, when Jimmy Tractorwheel, the son of the local farmer, comes along. After that, there`s no knowing what will happen next, as while stalled in traffic jams or nodding off at night, the boys chime in & the story races on & Waldo finds if not necessarily dinner, his just desserts. First published in 1947 & wonderfully illustrated by Warren Chappell, William Mc Cleery`s Wolf Story is a delicious treat for fathers & sons & daughters & mothers alike. ...

Falk, one of Germany`s leading publishers of street plans, produce their town plans in two different formats. Falk Extra plans are folded in a standard way, where the whole map can be opened to view the entire area it covers. For larger cities, the same mapping is also published with a special folding system designed to show only a small section of the map at one time. The whole map can be opened but it will be cut in several places. Many find these street plans very user-friendly & easier to handle than conventional maps. The plans, which cover towns with their outer suburbs, indicate main landmarks & public buildings & show all the public transport facilities, one way streets & car parks. Plans of lager cities include a separate map of the town centre at a more detailed scale & a diagram of the underground & the suburban rail network.
