Wolves

Emily gravett rocks. The concept is novel, it is a book in a book. The illustrations are really amazing, the scared rabbit is to die for. Love the level of detail, the postcards, the library card all add a great amount of authenticity to the book.The storyline is simple - a rabbit checks out a book about wolves and the wolves come out of book. Little boys will definitely dig it, my 3 year old loved it.

A very clever book. Something for both kids and adults to smile at.

A must have for all young readers!!! It's filled with surprises. Keeps the adult reading entertained too.The author's attention to detail makes the work not only unique but also breathes life to the story line.I have given four stars because I received a worn out book. I would have asked for a replacement however my 21 month old son won't let go of it.

Great kids book, funny.

Una historia divertida. Un claro ejemplo del empleo de la metaficción en un álbum ilustrado.Muy recomendable para niños y para adultos

L'histoire est amusante et prend tout son sens avec les illustrations qui sont magnifiques et très recherchées, comme toujours chez E. Gravett. Le petit lapin est à croquer ...

Big bad wolves. We all know they're out there. Right? There's no denying it. So if you go to the Burrowing Library to check out a book on wolves, you do know to look right and left on your way home. Look behind you. Keep a 360 going because wolves are known to sneak up on you.Tell that to our Bunny. You know how they are--they like to be scared! What's the scariest? Wolves. Bunny checks out a book simply called "Wolves." Wow, they look so real on the pages! Bunny, look behind you--a wolf got out and is in his Granny clothes. Bunny, look out, he's part of those trees just ahead. Bunny, you're walking on his feet. Please look up.Until it is too late. The jagged tears on the book cover, the chewed ends show us the truth. The torn-out piece of paper with one word: Rabbits. We tried to warn the Bunny. But here's a note from the author: No rabbits were harmed in the creation of this book. And for sensitive children, here is an alternative ending: Torn out pieces from the book re-fit, cubist style, to recreate the new ending. Bunny and Wolf having a jam sandwich. Only a comatose child couldn't figure out that this is really just a fake ending. Besides, look at all the stacked up over-due notices lying at Bunny's door--unread.When I finished reading this to my great-niece, Carolina, she gasped audibly, jerked her head toward me, scrunched up her face the way she does, and said, "Let's read another book." So much for alternate endings for sensitive children."Do you know what happened to the Bunny?""Yes, he got ate!""Does that bother you, Carolina?""No, Aunt Judy. It's a book. Silly!"She's four. I'm way older. It bothered me.Note: Actually, I love this wildly creative book!

A rabbit borrows a book on wolves from the library, and is so engrossed in it that he doesn't notice that---- no, I won't spoil it for you!This very imaginative, and beautifully illustrated, book is highly original. It combines library-related paraphernalia with plentiful rabbit-related puns (mostly lost on my children, but they'll get it when they're older) much of which is hidden amongst the front and back blurbs that you might not normally look at with your children. The first ending is a little brutal, though hardly unexpected. The alternative ending is very funny though ludicrous too.We all love rabbits AND we are all vegetarian, yet my daughters (aged 6, 4 and 2) find this entertaining and are not scared by it. Most importantly for a children's book, it's also really appealing to parents.
