This simple but endearing story of friendship begins when Big Wolf, who has lived alone at the top of the hill for as long as he can remember, spots a little speck in the distance coming ever closer. The little speck turns out to be Little Wolf, who each day encroaches a little more into Big Wolf’s world. At first, Big Wolf doesn’t know what to make of this intruder but gradually he finds himself sharing more and more of his life with Little Wolf. Still, it isn’t until Little Wolf disappears that Big Wolf realizes truly just how much he liked having Little Wolf around. The illustrator uses simple but bold paint strokes to effectively evoke the mood of the story. You will be smiling as you read this story aloud, and rest assured, all ends well. This story is a favorite in France and only recently has been translated into English; find it at E BRU.
