Special guests include Little Red Riding Hood, the Three Little Pigs, the Cat and the Fiddle and many more characters readers are sure to recognize. Huffing and puffing new life into favorite nursery rhymes, this charming story introduces telling time while showing readers that the Mr. Wolf isn't so big or bad after all.

本书是英国畅销童书作家戴比·葛莉欧利受民间幼儿园传统游戏“老狼，老狼，几点了？” 启发而创作的图画书。不同于其他故事中永远狰狞可怕的老狼，也不同于游戏中十二点钟就要准时开始抓人的老狼，本书中的老狼先生和蔼、友善，是二十四只小黑鸟、三只小猪和小红帽的好朋友。他讲究生活情趣，作息十分规律，小动物们都会向他打听时间，甚至嘻嘻哈哈地捉弄他，而老狼先生却始终平和以对。故事结尾，老狼先生为前来参加生日聚会的朋友们辛苦跋涉买蛋糕，迎接他的则是大家为他精心准备的无数小惊喜，欢乐温馨的场面极具颠覆意义。
