The big, bad wolf is a staple of picture books and he cuts a great figure here, changing from confident, ruthless baddie to accident prone figure of fun before reinventing himself in a most surprising way. He’s writing a book How to Nab a Rabbit, which should be a guaranteed bestseller. The trouble is, rabbits are harder to nab than you’d think, while their woodland habitats are also home to bears, who see wolves as a tasty snack. The story is lots of fun, cinematic in both plot and illustrations, with moments of drama and tension as well as comedy. The twist at the end will leave everyone satisfied.
March 2018 Book of the Month | A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month March 2018 A story of friendship and empathy, of escape and return, or teamwork and reconciliation, this picture book is thoughtful and moving, and features some hugely appealing characters. Oliver and Ruby and little dog Patch love going to the zoo, and make special friends with a baby rescue penguin, Peep. They can tell he misses his old home and friends, and when he goes missing they immediately set out to find him. It’s not easy, and they have to learn to work together before the little runaway is returned to a warm welcome from the other penguins. Claire Freedman’s story provides lots to think about and Kate Hindley’s illustrations are full of warmth and energy, each page a treat (don’t miss the giant tortoise!). ~ Andrea Reece A wonderfully warm story about friendship as favourite characters Oliver and Patch together with their friend Ruby pay a visit to the Zoo. They love meeting all the animals! There are meerkats and tigers and they especially love the penguins. But when a little penguin goes missing the three friends soon find that there is more to visiting to zoo than just looking at the animals.

I love you, love you, love you, and I always, always will’ it concludes. A truly lovely book for parents to share with their children, and a perfect gift for new mums and dads. ~ Andrea Reece
