Synopsis

Welcome to Little Wood, the tiniest town around! The first in a new picture-book series from innovative textile artist and photographer, Sabina Gibson.

Wolfie is a little shy, but she loves to paint. Her friends and neighbors all want to see what she is working on, but she is not ready to share just yet. As she makes her way around Little Wood, she meets Bear, Rabbit, and Badger and paints them as they go about their day.
 
Soon she is brave enough to show everyone what she has been doing—and the whole town is invited to her art show! Who did Wolfie paint? And what will she paint next?
 
In the vein of Sylvanian Families, Calico Critters, and Richard Scarry, Wolfie Paints the Town is the start of a sweet series from artist Sabina Gibson, introducing four lovable characters and the charming town of Little Wood, a place readers will want to visit again and again.

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 1—Art is the theme in this book, which uses textile arts to tell a story about a wolf who loves to paint. Wolfie walks through Little Wood's Garden District pulling a red wagon filled with art supplies. She stops to greet friends and paints the town's sights, but is initially too timid to show her work. Later, she invites everyone to an art show. Carefully stitched miniature fabric animals and handcrafted props take center stage in photographed tableaux. Blurred backgrounds ensure that readers focus on the animals and their small details, including ties, books, paintbrushes, food, and flowers. Sentences are simple and straightforward in a thick black font against the background, Dialogue, however, is limited and lackluster, as in this exchange between Wolfie and Bear: "Hi, Wolfie! What are you doing?" "Oh, nothing. It's just a silly painting." A spread of Wolfie's Art Show invites interactivity, as readers are encouraged to spot the characters and places within her paintings. Adults and children with attention to detail will appreciate the craftsmanship in Gibson's finely detailed creatures. A general absence of expression in word and pictures, however, makes the story a little flat, though not without artistic merit. VERDICT An artful addition for maker spaces, craft classes, and anyone trying to spark creativity in the very young. —Lisa Taylor, Florida State College, Jacksonville
