Bad boy wolves Willy and Wally try to get a chicken dinner by disguising themselves as the Handy-Dandy Lupino Brothers and going to work for a hen in need of household help.

Bad boys Willy and Wally are at it again. This time, those two famished wolves have got chicken on the brain. Yes, a delicious, delectable, finger-lickin' chicken dinner. When Mrs. Hen needs a little help around the coop, who's more perfect for the job than the Handy-Dandy Lupino Brothers? Watch out, little chickies, it's almost snack time. But who knew coop care was so much work? Will those mischievous, masked bad boys be able to clean up—and take-out—before Mrs. Hen returns to the roost? Margie Palatini and Henry Cole team up once again for another comical caper about that terrible, terribly hungry twosome from bad boys and bad boys get cookie!

They were bad. Oh yes, those boys were real bad. On the run again, wolves Willy and Wally have the perfect plan. Cleverly disguised in womanly wool-wear, they slip into the sheep flock -- a hide-out "on the lam." A foolproof plan indeed . . . especially for securing a lamb chop or two. But when those bad boys -- rather, Willimina and Wallanda -- meet their match in the form of three savvy sheep, the truth is only a close shave away. Margie Palatini and Henry Cole, the team behind the hilarious moosetache and mooseltoe, have created a madcap fairy-tale read-aloud sure to entertain young readers.
