Unwrapping the story
Mom is tucking her little rabbit into bed but the dialogue between the two is not very calming or comforting before he falls asleep.
"Mom, are you sure the wolf will not come?"
"Absolutely, my rabbit."
"But how can you be so sure?"
She tells him that the hunters have chased all the wolves in the area away and the remainder are hiding in the woods. Besides, if one decides to come into the city he'd be in grave danger due to the abundance of cars and the maze of streets he would have to travel. The wolf doesn't know the entrance code to our building, and he certainly doesn't know how to use the elevator up to the fifth floor. The persistent curious little guy is not totally convinced that the wolf may suddenly appear any minute. Oh my!
Then a wonderful twist happens at the end of the story that nobody could anticipate coming. Kids always love when the unexpected happens. (And so do adults... come on... admit it). Unpredictability is perpetually a winning strategy and oh so fun for the unaware reader.
The illustrations are detailed and full of emotion and activity. I recommend this delightful book that has been translated from French into English for your reading pleasure.
