Sibling rivalry meets reasonable caution in this story of a wolf pup adopted by rabbits. The ending is heartwarming.

Cute book! A great one for kids with sibling rivalry issues - what do you do with your pesky little brother? Or for a family with a new adoption. Parents will enjoy this as well as kids.

Hilarious! Yes, it could be a great read aloud, but make sure children see the illustrations... as close up as possible. It's fun to go back and take another look at them. I really liked looking at them and imagining what it was like to create them, and I liked Dyckman's explanation of how the idea of the story began.

Cute. But I'm with Dot, Wolfie is going to eat them up eventually. The art was okay, nothing special. The text was readable. But I couldn't get past the basic premise.

When a baby wolf is left on the doorstep of the Bunny family, Dot has some serious concerns. Much to Dot's dismay she is alone in her fears as Mama and Papa soon adopt the abandoned wolf. Dot remains worried about Wolfie as he grows and becomes much more likely to eat them all up. Worse, Wolfie really loves Dot--so much so that he spends all of his time following Dot around and even drooling on her!
Dot is certain Wolfie could not be more annoying until she and Wolfie go to the local co-op The Carrot Patch to get more food for the family. Dot is sure this moment will be when Wolfie chooses to make his move and eat her. Instead, when a mean (big) bear shows up, it's Wolfie who is in peril. And Dot who is left to do the rescuing in Wolfie the Bunny (2015) by Ame Dyckman and Zachariah OHora.
Ame Dyckman returns with another delightful story in this picture book about a wolf in rabbit's clothing. Wolfie the Bunny is a riotous story that leaves readers wondering if Dot's fears really are warranted until the last moment when readers (and Dot) realize that being family means being there for each other no matter what.
OHora brings an extra dimension to the story as he moves Wolfie and company from what could have been a natural setting into the wilds of Brooklyn. His signature style and bold colors in each acrylic painting guarantee that these illustrations will stand up to close scrutiny as well as being viewed from a distance.
Bold text and a variety of font faces work to add further interest to each page as each page spread comes together seamlessly to create an engrossing read.
Wolfie the Bunny is a story about new babies, sibling rivalry and unconditional love (and maybe carrots) that is brimming over with humor and enthusiastic energy. Ideal for any story time scenario.

Dot is sure her new brother will eat her entire family. When a big bully strikes she must decide, is he her enemy or her brother?

An awesome little book about what it means to be family, especially when you're an older sister and you suddenly have a little brother! Awesome story and adorable illustrations.
