Beware of Girls by Tony Blundell (author)

” When Wolf decides that a little girl would make a very tasty snack, he tries to trick her by pretending to be her grandmother. But the little girl is smarter than Wolf and sends him away each time he knocks at her door. She sends him to collect various things that she says her grandmother would wear or bring. Finally she sends him for a big bunch of balloons and a huge rock and then tells him to put the rock down. The balloons then carry him up into the air and away for ever.”
