Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The stories Gabe 'reads' to his little sister start out sounding familiar - a red-caped girl on her way to Grandma's house meets a wolf in the woods - but then, just in the nick of time, Sir Gabriel swoops in to save the day. His sister points out that's not how the story is supposed to go. The boy says his way is better: 'Nothing bad happens in my story.' But when his sister stops listening, the boy realises he needs to reconsider. Are his stories boring? Why does it seem like there's always something missing?
"This Is the Path the Wolf Took is a funny, endearing story about a boy named Gabe who doesn't like the scary parts of stories, so when he "reads" books to his little sister, he leaves those parts out. He tells her the story of the Little Red Riding Hood, and as soon as the wolf shows up, a knight in shining armor (Sir Gabriel) swoops in to the rescue. He tells the story of the Three Little Pigs, but just as the wolf is about to blow the first house down, Sir Gabriel shows up again and sends the wolf howling back into the woods. His sister is getting Bored with a capital B. So he tries to make the stories exciting in other ways, but there always seems to be something missing...."-- Provided by publisher.
