Product Description

Product Description
Rabbit borrows a book about wolves from the library. Straightforward enough, but it's not long before a sinister figure with sharp claws and a bushy tail starts to creep right off the pages...You won't believe your eyes - especially if you're a rabbit. Brilliantly witty, with amazing artwork, two surprise endings, plus fun novelty elements, "Wolves" is surely the most exciting picture book of the year. It is an extraordinary debut from an exceptional new author/illustrator.

About the Author
Emily Gravett is a recent graduate of Brighton University and winner of the 2004 Macmillan Prize for Illustration. A traveller in her youth, Emily has now settled in Brighton with her partner, their young daughter - and the family dog. WOLVES is her first picture book and marks the beginning of what will surely be an internationally stellar career as the creator of extraordinary books for children.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best new childrens' author/illustrator since Judith Kerr, 19 Sep 2005
By Mr. J. Day "charlieday2" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A wonderful, funny tale of a bunny who reads a book about wolves. So far, so so, but wait..this tale is told with such economy and style (the loose pencilwork of the wolves huge feet is stunning) and wit that you and your children will love reading it night after night. And the denoument...? No, I won't spoil it - you'll have to buy it! I saw the book at Emily's degree show and could not wait for it to reach the shelves. Now my children love it as much as me! We cannot wait for more!

4.0 out of 5 stars If you love bunnies, you may not like this...., 26 Sep 2005
By C. H. Kemp "christinakemp" (Isle of Man) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Being a drama-in-education practitioner, I'm always on the lookout for inspirational books which appeal to key stages 1 and 2. I read the review for this in the Sunday Times (it was Children's book of the week), and thought it sounded ideal. This is an interesting and realistic take on the comfortable "big bad wolf" image held by young children and maintained by traditional fairy stories. There are other nice touches which allude to The Jolly Postman (letters etc). I have seen teachers here shying away from it for being too harsh - the bunny dies quite violently, I suppose, and the "alternative" ending is made up from scraps of the book which was torn up during the bunny's demise. However, the children I've shown this book to have loved it. They also didn't believe the alternative ending, but weren't (as some teachers had imagined) upset by the story. It's an interesting book to show to older children in order to discuss its suitability for little ones. The discussions arising out of it are very diverse!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as it might have been, 27 Sep 2007
By J. W. Berry (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was disappointed with this book. Like other reviewers I thought it was far too short and also very sad because the rabbit gets eaten. The last double page spread shows the rabbit's doormat with his unopened mail and Final Notices of unpaid bills (because he is dead, and clearly no one seems to have noticed his demise), along with a removeable letter from the library asking for his overdue book on Wolves back and telling him he has a fine of £10.93. How depressing is that?! And for people like the last reviewer, who like the idea of giving a child a book with a sad ending, I beg you not to do it. I assume the idea is to introduce children to the harsh realities of life at an early age, but let your little children keep their rose-tinted spectacles a bit longer, because once you've taken them off they can never put them back on again. Being a child should be fun!
