“I love most of the things I've seen of Agnese Baruzzi, but while the illustratrions were cute and worked cleverly with the flaps, it was first a bit too "scary" (a wolf wolfing down one small animal after another, particularly with the loose bird feathers on the first page), and then felt overly moralizing with the switch to fruits and veggies on the last page. Just not my cup of tea.”
