Bookroo's summary

A wolf tumbles out of a book, desperate to return to his story. But a hungry cat has other plans, forcing him to leap from book to book in search of safety. His sharp teeth and dark fur make it hard to fit in with dinosaurs or attend a ball. Just when hope seems lost, a girl in a red hood might offer the perfect refuge. Will the wolf find his place, or become dinner? Dive into this whimsical tale of adventure and belonging, where every page turn brings a new twist.

From the publisher

Finding where you belong isn’t easy . . . especially when you’re a storybook wolf. In this illustrated fractured fairy tale for kids, a book falls to the floor and a wolf tumbles out. The wolf needs to get back to his story, but a hungry cat has other ideas. Jumping from book to book, this wolf is on a journey to find a new home (and to avoid becoming dinner). His sharp, pointy teeth don’t help him fit in with the dinosaurs, and his shiny black fur doesn’t get him into the ball. But a little girl in a red hood is waiting for someone just like him to arrive. For children and adults who enjoy playful twists on a classic story, The Wolf Who Fell Out of a Book’s colorful illustrations and a “story-starter” ending are sure to keep your imagination turning even after the book is returned to its shelf. Thierry Robberecht is a children’s author, graphic novel scriptwriter, and songwriter. He lives in Brussels, where he devotes himself to a passion for literature. Gregoire Mabire studied illustration at the Saint Luc Institute in Brussels. He illustrates children’s picture books and contributes to children’s magazines.

Reviews

4.5

4.5

I thought this book had a lot of great potential. I loved the beginning and the idea of trying to escape into other books, but I felt like the book ended before the story was finished and left some unanswered questions. I still thought it was cute and liked the illustrations, but I thought it could have been better.
