![]() ![]() ![]() As Wolfie grows, so does his appetite…for carrots. (Houghton, 2–5 years)Īt the start of Wolfie the Bunny, rabbit Dot is none too pleased when a baby wolf is left on the Bunny family's doorstop her parents, on the other hand, are totally smitten. ![]() Dunrea's gently amusing, pleasingly repetitive stories and thoroughly beguiling illustrations continue to capture preschooler life in all its variety. Little brother follows big sister everywhere, until she hollers the words known to all younger siblings everywhere: "Don't keep following me!" Accustomed to having company, however, lonely Gemma quickly finds herself in her brother's position, now following him around the farm. Intrepid explorer Gemma sports a safari helmet and field glasses her little brother Gus wears a saucepan on his head. Gemma & Gus welcomes two new goslings into Olivier Dunrea's much-beloved series (begun with Gossie and Gossie & Gertie). The following picture books capture this ever-shifting sibling dynamic. One minute they're acting "slippery as a snake's belly in a mudslide," the next they're protecting you from things that go bump in the night. As every big sibling knows, having a little brother or sister can be…complicated. ![]()
