Bookroo's summary

Violet and her brother Peter embark on a daring adventure through their apartment building, delivering soup to a sick neighbor. As they navigate hallways and elevators, their journey transforms into a thrilling tale filled with trolls and mysterious noises. But when they finally reach their destination, the neighbor seems more wolf than human. In this imaginative story, Violet and Peter must discern what's real and what's fantasy, challenging young readers to question the boundaries of their own imaginations.

From the publisher

If you love stories of imagination, such as Little Red Riding Hood, Where the Wild Things Are, and Charlie and Lola—you’ll adore spending time with these two courageous siblings.

“Once upon a time, a brave little girl and her brother set out on a long, long journey,” Violet tells Peter. “A journey fraught with danger and peril.”

Riding their building’s elevator and traveling the hallways past apartment doors to bring soup to a sick neighbor, Violet and Peter encounter both real and imagined adventure—getting lost in the laundry room, running into a troll, and escaping scary noises in the nick of time, only to find that their poor sick neighbor looks . . . like a wolf!

Clever, thought-provoking, and with an unforgettable ending, Violet and the Woof is a book that explores the power of imaginative storytelling and will have kids asking: “What’s real?”
