You have to read this book with your sense of humor turned on. It's hilarious and creative, too.

I enjoyed this book a lot! I love that the rabbit was in the library and how the book promoted libraries in a cute and fun way. Thank God for the alternate ending! That way more sensitive kids won't be upset.

I read "Wolves" yesterday with a class of four year olds. I was being very dramatic and saying I was scared to keep reading for fear of what was going to happen to the rabbit. A student helpfully suggested that when you are scared you should "breathe in through your nose and think happy thoughts". Sage advice I can use when reading scary books as well as news from around the world.

Okay, everyone I knew was raving about this book, and I see why!  What a fun, metafictive book that breaks the fourth wall!!  From the artwork to the narrative to the second ending, every bit of this book kept me entertained and ready for more.  And, of course, I should say here--no rabbits were harmed in the making of this book, just in case y'all were worried.

A rabbit goes to the library and checks out a picture book about wolves only to discover something very unpleasant at the end. A good book to pair with Jon Klassen's I WANT MY HAT BACK.

Rabbit wants to learn about other animals so he checked out a book on wolves. As he reads about wolves and walks about town, the wolf slowly starts coming out of the book and into rabbit's world, something not necessarily good for rabbit. This book was excellent! It was laugh out loud funny at the end and the characters were both exceptionally expressive. However, the ending might not be the best for young readers. The author points this out as well and gives an alternate ending, something that is part of what makes it so fun. This may make it more of an adult book or a book for less sensitive readers. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys witty children's books.

Not my favorite Gravett book. Not my 20-mo-old son's favorite either- he never requested it again after I read it the first time. Probably too advanced for him.
