Abstract
This is a 24-page 8" square pamphlet. Young Peter and his dog Lucas go out every day to take care of the sheep on the hillside overlooking town. Upon his first "Wolf!" cry, his mother finds him hiding behind a rock "roaring with laughter." Admonished by his mother, Peter promises that he will never do it again. After a few days, he is again lonely and bored. This time some of the villagers refuse to respond, but his parents do -- and find him "laughing hysterically." Of course the wolf soon does attack. Cuéllar gives him strong red eyes. Peter is clever enough to throw his lunch basket at him and hit him on the nose. The "Lucas touch" is very nice in this pleasant little booklet. The negative lesson about lying is balanced by his parents' pride that he saved the sheep.
