If ever there was a reason for us to pick up literature beyond our own borders, then this picturebook by Brun-Cosme and Tallec (and translated by Claudia Zoe Bedrick) is one. Written and published in French, this story tells the story of a growing relationship between Big Wolf and Little Wolf. This is a picturebook full of humour but also tenderness and love.

When Big Wolf first sees Little Wolf, he is immediately concerned that his world will change for the worse and that when he cares about might be lost. It is only when he spends time with this newcomer that he realises that sharing his world with another is a far richer experience that he had ever thought possible. A beautiful tale.

An utterly charming picture book. I picked this up after hearing it was one of the few children's stories depicting wolves in a positive light (which it does!) and stayed for a story about friendship that manages to be gentle and touching without giving one cavities from the sweetness.

November 2016 - we've read this one a few times, and Ben seems to really get the story, which I love. It's a bit on the wordier side, for how much actually happens plot-wise, but it's got a great emotional core.

The illustrations are beautiful, but the story is definitely lacking. I'm guessing it just didn't translate very well.

Teaches you so much about friendship, love, and sharing. I'll never forget how intense it got when the Big Fox couldn't find the Little Fox. Definitely give it a read if you get time.

A lovely, quiet story. Soft illustrations - good for a cold winter day.
