A Zany Alternate Universe

Bespectacled wolves sporting bow ties, big headed figures with diminutive bodies, 266-pound chickens. These and other zany figures populate the universe of Lane Smith, the award-winning illustrator of such books as ''The Happy Hocky Family,'' Jon Scieszka's ''The True Story of the Three Little Pigs!'' and Roald Dahl's ''James and the Giant Peach.''
