Love, Love, Loved

The young rabbit Dot is trying to warn her parents that the wolf dressed in bunny clothing is not to be trusted, but alas they do not listen to her. This is a delightfully original story about giving yourself permission to change your mind after you learn that you were wrong.This story is hilarious and I think it would be popular during story time. I think there are parts in the story that everyone could shout out together, like "He's gonna eat us all up!" The paintings are really cute and well-done. I think kids would appreciate the good art.

From the second Wolfie was dropped off on the Bunny families front porch. Dot, the daughter, objected to having a baby wolf in the house. She was worried that Wolfie would "eat them all up".Wolfie grew bigger and so did his appetite. Dot took Wolfie to the store where they came across a bear. Wolfie was dressed as a bunny and the bear tried to eat Wolfie. Dot exclaimed that if the bear didn't let go of Wolfie she would eat the bear up, scaring him away. Dot and Wolfie hugged and Dot learned that maybe Wolfie isn't so bad after all.

Love this super funny little story about a bunny named Dot who gets a baby brother, Wolfie. She thinks Wolfie is NOT a good addition to her family.

When Dot the bunny and her parents return home one day, they find a baby wolf on their doorstep. Immediately smitten with this lupine youngster, Dot's parents adopt Wolfie despite their daughter's repeated warnings that he is eventually going to eat all of them. Although he soon has the elder bunnies charmed, Dot remains obdurate is her rejection of Wolfie, until the two are confronted by a hungry bear at the carrot store. It is only then, when Wolfie is in danger of being eaten, that Dot discovers that she too feels a sense of love and loyalty to this new family member.A fun little tale, one which explores the themes of cross-group adoption and getting a new sibling from the perspective of the existing child in the family, Wolfie the Bunny pairs a humorous narrative from author Ame Dyckman with engaging artwork from illustrator Zachariah OHora. Any child who has felt a little neglected and/or ignored by their parents, upon the arrival of a new member of the family, will identify with Dot, and will be led by the narrative to consider the impact of their own actions on their new sibling. The illustrations, done in colorful acrylics and meant to be a tribute to Brooklyn, capture the quirky humor of the text, and add to the fun. Recommended to anyone looking for picture-books featuring a new sibling, or the adoption of a child of a different background than their adoptive family.

No need to fear this wolf in bunny's clothing. Absolutely adorable and great for reading aloud.

Read on April 13, 2015When the bunny family came home to find a bundle of joy left on their doorstep, Dot was concerned. After all, that cute little bundle was a WOLF! Dot is the only one that sees beyond her little brother's cuteness, she knows what he really is... Or does she? Very cute story about how one little bunny handles a new addition to her family.(Plus it got a few smiles out of our 4.5 month old, Evie...she lives for daddy to read stories in funny voices and this one worked very well for that.)

My daughter is home from her first year of college. Time for Mama, Papa and Baby Bear to sit on the sofa for a picture book binge! (2 of 4)A sweet story about an unexpected adoption of a wolf by a family of bunnies finds humor in little Dot Bunny's repeated prophecies of doom about the wolf in the fold -- or warren, rather. Ohora's art is great.

This is a book about a new sibling that shouldn't be relegated to the "New Sibling" shelf. It's a lot of fun, and the refrain of "He's going to eat us up!" will be popular at storytime. I liked that it is Dot who does the defending at the end; I expected Wolfie's perceived fierceness to come to his family's rescue.

"He's drooling on me!" said Dot. "He's a good drooler!" said Papa. I... I can't. Wolfie is the cutest bunny ever, and nobody can tell me otherwise! Not even Dot.

This book is about a family of bunnies who find a baby wolf on their doorstep and take it in as their own baby. Their daughter bunny, Dot, is the only one with sense and keeps telling the family that the wolf is going to eat them. This is a good fantasy book because in the real world foxes do eat bunnies and they are not personified. In all ages you can get something out of this book.

I absolutely loved this book! I could totally hear Dot yelling, “He’s going to eat us up!” This is a book I will be buying for my group because the topic of new siblings is one that often comes up.
