Wolfie the Bunny

by Ame Dyckman, illustrated by Zachariah OHora
Hennepin County Library
genre: picture book

I liked this one the best of the picture books I've read so far. Mama and Papa bunny find a wolf pup in a basket outside their door and adopt him. Dot shouts, "He's going to eat us all up!" At every juncture, mama and papa are crazy about their new child and Dot tries to sound the alarm. When Dot and Wolfie (dressed in a bunny outfit) go to the carrot market to get more food, a bear grabs Wolfie and shouts "Dinner!" Dot's reaction is beautiful.

This one has some nice applicable lessons about sibling relationships.
