Leaving her kids at home, a mother goat warns them not to open the door until she returns for fear of the wolf. Alas, too quick to trust, the kids let the devious wolf through the door and are eaten up. The mother goat returns to find only one kid alive, but, because the wolf had been too greedy, she is able to save the rest. Lovely illustrations in this collection of animal tales from the Brothers Grimm.
