Wolves

Product Information

This humorous text is a wonderful way to encourage children to think about the differences between fiction and non-fiction. In the book the wolf is sketched and although the book has some mixed media pull outs I really found the illustration were lacking for me. We build and maintain all our own systems, but we don’t charge for access, sell user information, or run ads. You need to sort of combine them both together so when you’re writing one doesn’t particularly come first.

I also provided an alternative (although slightly unbelievable) ending for sensitive readers made of ripped up pieces of the book.

Although I liked the story I was not as keen on the illustrations funnily enough but I feel the acclaim the book received dilutes any comments I have about it.

Wolves was Emily Gravett's debut book, winning her the Macmillan Prize for Illustration and her first CILIP Kate Greenaway Award. I’ve been scrabbling about in the bottom of drawers looking for artwork and trying to figure out what was going through my mind at the time.As I moved through the book I became increasingly aware that things were not going well for the rabbit, and I had no idea how to save him. Damselflies will hold their wings back over their bodies, whilst dragonflies hold theirs outstretched perpendicular to their bodies. With that being said, every illustrations covers both pages, so although the book has a portrait orientation, it has more of a landscape feel to it. Emily first sprang into the limelight with the ground-breaking Wolves in 2005, which has been followed by such modern classics as Meerkat Mail, Little Mouse's Big Book of Fears, Monkey and Me and Again!

She did it again in 2008, with Little Mouse’s Big Book of Fears, an energetic and unconventional book that promises to help young children confront and overcome their fears.Rabbit, himself, is illustrated as off-white, with bits of colorful lines in the shading of his fur. The front cover illustration shows the title Little Mouse's Emily Gravett's Big Book of Fears, a mouse looking through a hole it has chewed, and damage along the book edges. This will appeal to adult co-readers, who will have seen more than their fair share of picturebooks of the cutesy kind. And I just couldn’t think of a way out of it really but… When I’m doing picture books, I make tiny little dummies about this big so — with pens for drawings and I put the words in.
