Wolfie the Bunny succeeds through Dot's hilariously cynical perspective and a repetitive warning that invites kids to shout along. The story balances the tension of a misunderstood predator with physical comedy and a fierce display of sibling protection. Books in this family share skeptical protagonists, expressive visual humor, and domestic situations where a perceived monster becomes an ally.
Reach for this book when your child is struggling to accept a new sibling, especially if they view the newcomer as an 'intruder' who has taken over the house. This humorous story follows Dot, a young bunny whose parents adopt a baby wolf. While her parents are blinded by the baby's cuteness, Dot is convinced he is a predator who will eventually eat them all. Through witty dialogue and expressive illustrations, the book explores the very real feelings of displacement and anxiety that come with a family expansion. It is perfect for preschoolers and early elementary children, providing a safe way to laugh at their own 'big sibling' fears. Ultimately, it moves from rivalry to a fierce, protective bond, showing that love can grow in the most unexpected ways.
