Wolves, by Emily Gravett

Rabbit checks out a book about wolves from the library and reads, about a second too late, that they sometimes eat -- rabbits! Oops! Well the author assures us this is a work of fiction and "no rabbits were eaten during the making of this book," but nevertheless she provides an alternative (vegetarian) ending. Tongue in cheek humor abounds in the small details and clever design of this book about a book. This could be a fun introduction to fiction & non-fiction and maybe book care (the wolf book gets a bit chewed up!).

What a wonderful tongue in cheek offering! I agree a great introduction to fiction and nonfiction as well as a wonderful book for art. The design of the book features great use of white space and wonderful pencil drawings!
