Back to StoriesA boy loves playing 'What's the Time, Mr. Wolf,' but learns that true fun comes from fair play and good sportsmanship. Discover how he makes every game enjoyable for everyone. Ages 4-6.
The Boy and the Fair Wolf
On a sunny afternoon, a boy heads to the park to play his favourite game -- 'What's the Time, Mr. Wolf.' Step by step, he creeps toward the wolf, counting carefully -- but this time, his eagerness to win gets the better of him, and he sneaks in an extra step or two.
The quick thrill of being first doesn't last. When a kind friend gently points out that the best part of the game is the fun everyone shares, the boy pauses to watch his friends laughing together, and starts to see the game in a whole new light.
Inspired, he decides to play his very best: calling out fair and square as the wolf, counting every step honestly, and racing back to the start line with everyone else when dinner time is called. The shared laughter along the way turns out to be the real victory.
What he learns: fairness, honesty, and the joy of playing a game everyone can enjoy together.
Personalised with your child's name. Ages 4-6.
Everything You Need to Know Before You Create Your Book
We create a custom storybook in which your child is the main character. You upload a photo of your child, our system generates an illustrated character that captures their likeness, and that character appears throughout the story. You review and approve the character before we produce anything.
Both. A Hardcopy Book is professionally printed and delivered to your door. A PDF Book is delivered by email and licensed for personal, non-commercial use (including printing one copy at home). Choose your format at checkout. And of course you can order both!
Choose a book title → upload a clear photo of your child → enter the child's name → select Hardcopy or PDF or both → review and approve the character preview → complete payment. We do not begin production until you approve the preview.
Yes — and it is a required step. After your photo is processed, you will see a preview of the illustrated character as it will appear in the storybook before you confirm your order and pay. If you are not satisfied, you can upload a new photo and generate a new preview at no charge. Once you approve the preview and complete payment, production begins and changes cannot be made.
By uploading a child's photo and placing an order, you confirm you are the child's parent or legal guardian, or that you have obtained consent from the parent or legal guardian. This is required under Australian privacy law. We do not knowingly accept orders where this condition is not met.
