''Lucy and the Big Bad Wolf'' is a children's book by Ann Jungman.

Lucy is walking through a patch of remnant forest in her red anorak when she's accosted by a talking wolf, who announces that [[Literature/LittleRedRidingHood he's going to eat her grandmother and then her]]. Lucy is unable to persuade him that he's made a mistake, especially after she admits that she is in fact on her way to visit her grandmother.

The wolf insists on following her to her grandmother's house -- an enterprise which, to his mounting bemusement and horror, involves a train journey, a trip through modern London, and an introduction to the concept of apartment buildings -- and HilarityEnsues.

There are two sequels, ''Lucy and the Wolf in Sheep's Clothing'' and ''Lucy Keeps the Wolf from the Door''.

!!These books provide examples of:

* LineOfSightName: On the train to London, Lucy tells the wolf that if he's going to insist on sticking around, she'll need a name to call him. He says he'll take the name of the train they're on, expecting something dashing like "Golden Arrow" or "Flying Scotsman", and is thereafter known as "2:15".
* PartiallyCivilizedAnimal: The wolf has a human-level intelligence and can speak (and read, which is the source of some of his misconceptions about humans), but is otherwise basically a wolf.
* WrongGenreSavvy: The wolf, who starts out convinced he's in a fairy tale.
