Synopsis

Oh no! The wolf is coming! He's a little scary―maybe he wants to eat us! But here's an idea: if we hold the book on a slant, 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!

Review:

"This interactive board book enlists the help of readers to keep an approaching wolf at bay. As the beady-eyed lupine looms on the horizon, the minimal text instructs: 'Quick! Turn the page.' To further thwart the wolf's advance, readers are tasked with shaking, tipping, and turning the book. Brightly bold yellow and green backgrounds glow with fervor and anticipation. In a clever, circular twist, the topsy-turvy escapades continue after the last page is slammed shut, with an alert: 'Phew! The wolf has gone. Are you sure? Quick! Flip the book and check.' VERDICT Boisterous fun in the spirit of Hervé Tullet's Press Here (Chronicle, 2011) and Adam Lehrhaupt's Warning: Do No Open This Book (S. & S., 2013)."―School Library Journal
