“Where’s everything gone?” he wonders. It takes two lively rabbits to show him the wonders of snow. A charming book for age three and up.
The Good Little Wolf by AH Benjamin (A&C Black; €5.92) is a novel turnaround of all ‘bad wolf’ tales. Little Wolf wonders why wolves in stories are always baddies, so he decides to prove that wolves are a benevolent lot. His well- meaning deeds don’t turn out as he intended — like when he mistakes an old lady’s walking stick for a snake and smashes it to bits, leaving her without a leg to stand on. With quirky illustrations and hilarious situations, this is a laugh-aloud for age five and up.
