Description

In I am So Handsome, the incorrigible wolf saunters through the forest asking everyone he meets - including Snow White, and the three little pigs: 'Tell me, who is the handsomest of all?' He meets the little dragon: 'Tell me, you ridiculous little gherkin, who's the handsomest of all?' he says. The wolf is not so handsome when the little dragon has shown him a trick his dad taught him.
