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.
