A hilarious, neon-bright lesson in sibling rivalry and adoption that proves family is who you choose (even if they might 'eat you all').

Wolfie the Bunny is a total win. It manages to be sweet without being sappy and smart without being condescending.
In a sea of 'I’m a big sister now' books that feel like they were written by a corporate HR department, Ame Dyckman actually captures the weird, paranoid, and eventually fierce love that comes with siblings. The art is fantastic, the pacing is snappy, and it’s one of those rare books you won't mind reading for the 50th time at bedtime.
Best for the 3-to-7 crowd. It’s simple enough for preschoolers to follow but the deadpan humor and 'nature vs. nurture' subtext will keep 1st and 2nd graders laughing.
It’s a heart-melting story about a bunny family that adopts a wolf baby. While the sister, Dot, is convinced he's a predator, the parents' unconditional love and Dot's eventual protective streak are peak wholesome content without being saccharine.
The 'wolf in sheep's clothing' (or in this case, bunny pajamas) concept is flipped on its head. Zachariah OHora’s bold, quirky illustrations give it a distinct visual personality that stands out from generic picture books.
It's a picture book for small children. The only 'danger' is the comedic threat of being eaten, which is played entirely for laughs and resolved through sibling bonding.
Perfect for families navigating adoption or the arrival of a new sibling. It validates a child's anxiety about a new arrival while showing how those fears usually turn into affection.
