French author/illustrator Grégoire Solotareff uses bold black lines and large blocks of bright primary colors for dramatic effect in this story of the ups and downs of friendship.
-
A wonderful commentary on the power of empathy and friendships that defy odds. Sure to please – especially if you like playing ‘who’s afraid of the big bad wolf?
-
This story is so much deeper than its simple premise! Within, and underlying, the few lines of text are ideas on friendship, bullying, fear, differences, tolerance, racial issues and understanding…The true depth of this book is discovered not during the story, but in the conversations you hold with your child after it’s finished.

I am so happy to see the classic Loulou, the creation of one of the most popular French picture book makers, available in English at last.
-
I love the vibrantly coloured and expressive illustrations and best of all the feelings of love, compassion and empathy that flow throughout the story. I highly, highly recommend this book and understand completely why so many people want it included in their family (and school) collection.

This book hooks you in from the cover onwards, and uses vibrant, colourful illustrations to great effect, complementing the text and engaging the reader in the story. The story is well paced with a great dollop of humour that will make both adult and child reader alike laugh
