I haven’t read a Barnett/Klassen collaboration I didn’t love and this is certainly no different! Kids will love the concept of a mouse and duck living out their days safely inside of a wolf. And come to the end, they’ll also find it to be a modern day porquoi tale explaining the howling of the wolf (in agony due to the party happening round the clock in his stomach). I’m a big fan of dark humor for kids and Klassen never fails to disappoint in the dark humor department. Bravo gentlemen, another work of art for our youngest readers and their adults will love it too!
