Critics Review
Timothy Knapman’s funny updated telling of the Grimm Brothers, The Wolf and the Seven Little Kids with Jean Jullien’s illustrations of the mock-scary wolf are sure to make young audiences laugh. * Red Reading Hub *
Timothy Knapman’s THE GREEDY WOLF is a book made to be read-aloud. His strong word voice is perfectly matched by the visual imagery of Jean Jullien from the cover where we meet a wolf whose tongue hangs out of his mouth in anticipation of eating enough food for TEN birthday parties, his favorite being goats. […] * Igniting Writing *
I recommend this very funny picture book published by Walker Books. You will be able to get a copy form your local independent bookshop and if they don’t have copies on their shelves, they will be happy to order it for you. – Karen Argent * The Letterpress Project *
Bold text and bold illustrations, along with the kids’ innovative way of saving themselves not only make this an engaging read but may also open up doors to read the original and other variations while also being a golden opportunity to talk about stranger danger and keeping themselves safe. – Barbara Braxton * The Bottom Shelf *
