Four narrators and a musical score re-create the engaging quality of this picture book. The audio draws listeners in immediately as Robin Miles's narration plays off the music. As Miles describes the Bunny family's discovery of a "bundle outside their door," melodramatic piano riffs add an ominous tone reminiscent of silent films. This delightful interplay between words and music continues throughout. The character of young Dot steals the show in the book and also does so in the audio with the narration of Molly Cavett. Cavett dynamically expresses Dot's reactions to her foster wolf-brother. Dot registers doubt, fear, and, finally, sarcasm as she gives up on changing the attitudes of her smitten parents, portrayed by Wendy and Ken Cavett. Their doting tones strengthen the humor in Dot's rejoinders. S.W. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award � AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine

Starred review from December 8, 2014
Dyckman’s (Tea Party Rules) rousing, warmhearted story opens as a family of city-dwelling bunnies discover a wolf cub in a basket on their front stoop. “He’s going to eat us all up!” cries daughter Dot. But Papa proudly snaps pictures of Wolfie chowing down on carrots (“He’s a good eater!”), and Mama’s smitten, too. OHora’s (Tyrannosaurus Wrecks!) distinctive folk-naïf spreads poke gentle fun at hipster families—Papa and Mama are decked out in cardigans and argyle, while Dot and Wolfie shop at a food coop selling such wares as locally-sourced organic bamboo. More laughs come from the irresistible contrast between Dot’s sweet bunny countenance and her furious glares of rage. “I knew it!” she hisses when Wolfie bares his fangs while they’re shopping. But he’s not baring them at Dot—he’s worried about the huge bear behind her. In a gratifying showdown, Dot overpowers the bear (“Let him go!” she yells. “Or... I’ll eat you all up!”) while Wolfie proves he’s not only trustworthy but full of love. Ages 3–6. Author’s agent: Scott Treimel, Scott Treimel N.Y.
