Help! The Wolf is Coming!
Oh no! The wolf is coming! He’s getting closer and closer—you’d better turn the page, tilt the book, shake it, and then slam it shut.
An interactive boardbook for toddlers.

Description
Help! The wolf is coming!
In this interactive book, you need to follow the instructions to make sure the
wolf won’t get you.He’s a bit scary—maybe he wants to eat us! But here’s an idea: if we hold the book on a lean, maybe the wolf will slip and fall… And if he holds onto a branch, maybe we can shake the book so he drops off… Or maybe it’s enough to turn the page to make him disappear… Let’s try!
Bye-bye wolf!

We had great fun following the instructions laid out for us and much tilting, shaking and turning of pages was done. … Such an ingenious way of engaging a much younger audience and one that can’t fail to please parents and children alike.

It was wonderful to see a child interacting in this way with a real book. A wolf can be a bit scary – is he chasing us or does he want to catch and eat us up? I was trying hard not to laugh too much as I was reading this.

An interactive pleasure that turns shared reading upsidedown and allows youngsters to enjoy having control over a scary creature.
NZ Herald, April 2015 –
[Takes] a spare and straightforward approach to the prose and illustrations but that won’t lessen the fun kids will have tilting, turning and shaking the book as they try to tumble the approaching wolf off a cliff.

This is an interactive book – the wolf is coming, and you have to tilt the book, then shake it then slam it shut, physically. And see what happens to the wolf with every move! This will teach the tiny child exactly how a book works – see, when you shut the book the wolf has gone – or has he, you can open it again and take a peek – oh yes, he’s still there now!
