Wolves


Wolves by Emily Gravett

This is by far one of my favorite picture books of 2006. I first picked it up in a bookstore in London in May, and it was published here in the US in August. The book is admittedly one that is practically (or perhaps actually) designed to appeal to librarians but who cares! It's fun and funny, dynamic and expressive, sly and smart. Walk don't run to your local library and check it out.

Why does it appeal to librarians so much?

The rabbit borrows a book on wolves from his local public library. While he's reading it, he barely notices that real wolfy excitement is lurking very nearby. The design of the book also includes lots of library-book details.

Check it out!
