Wolfie the Bunny

By Ame Dyckman

Wolfie the Bunny is the perfect story to bring home to a young child expecting a new sibling in the family. While Dyckman’s interpretation of this concept is unlike many children’s books that address this same issue, her text still drives the same idea forward. A family of rabbits adopts a wolf into their home and the youngest rabbit is extremely nervous, believing that the wolf will hurt her, or worse–eat her alive. If a child is apprehensive about a new member of the family being introduced, the main character’s development in maturity throughout the story will lead to a new outlook from the audience. Everyone is capable of getting along with each other, no matter their background, ethnicity, and family

The creative and at moments humorous storyline combined with the whimsical and striking illustrations create an entertaining and enjoyable story for children and adults alike.
