Media Reviews

A hilarious debut . . . Quirky illustrations and the depiction of an utterly endearing Rolf are just a precursor to the wonderful twist at the end -- Vanessa Lewis * The Bookseller *
Enjoyable for those mischievous young listeners who enjoy a good bad ending -- Pamela Paul * The New York Times *
Teasingly playful -- Lucy Daniel * Daily Telegraph *
Good Little Wolf is a cheeky and amusing read, with plenty to delight its young audience . . . I can't wait to see what Nadia Shireen produces next. If it's as fun as Good Little Wolf, we're in for a real treat * The Bookbag *
Starring the fuzziest, friendliest wee wolf ever to grace the pages of a picture book, the story turns stereotypes on its head as Rolf fails to howl at the moon, harass little pigs or eat any grannies * Big Issue Scotland *
