Description

Watch the wolf put on his trousers, his T-shirt, his socks, and more. But what is his plan once hes fully dressed Carefulhe might bite! This boardbook has extra-thick board pages and strong cloth binding that will withstand many reads (it will need to!). Its a French bestseller, with bold illustrations and simple text, great for reading aloud, with a fun ending guaranteed to get giggles. Its also good for discussing getting dressed and different items of clothing.

Reviews

"Gentle narration and the wolfs semi-clothed state create a sense of security, which makes the books last-page twist hit its mark perfectly, delivering a just-scary-enough jolt to surprise and delight"

-- Starred Review, Publishers Weekly (US)

"This wonderful, extra-chunky board book reads vertically, with each tall spread showing a jaunty, grinning wolf in the stages of getting dressed."

-- Sunday Book Review, New York Times (US)

"This portrait shaped board book, with bold black outlines around strongly coloured pictures, is a magnificent creation. The sequence, picture clues,repetition, anticipation and suspense offer an ideal early reading opportunity"

-- Bookwagon (UK)
