This is a fantastic debut picture book from Rob Hodgson. Suspense and hilarity mount from the opening pages to the laugh-out-loud twist at the end.
To really appreciate this book, you’ll need to revisit it again and again. The illustrations match the text brilliantly and add hilarious detail – look out for Wolf’s coat after he is zapped by lightning. And watch out too for the subplots of the little worm and snail that appear in every page.
