Beware of the Storybook Wolves by Lauren Child

Beware of the Storybook Wolves by Lauren Child
There are so many enjoyable elements to this book! First, the visuals really stand out in this story. They are colorful and really creative. There are different sized texts on various pages, sometimes they're in cursive, and sometimes they are different sizes. It really adds personality and emotion to the story. I like the different twists about the "big bad wolves" from various fairytales. These two different wolves "come alive" from Herb's, the main character, and he has to cleverly figure out a way to get them back to their home, in the storybook. Although I felt that this story was somewhat sporadic with all the characters in unconventional roles, I thought it was a humorous and fun story to share with kids.
