The illustrations are gorgeous, and really give you an idea of the personality of the little girl and the wolf. But I don't understand why the little girl was so scared of the wolf. He never tried to hurt her or even threatened her. I kept hoping they would become friends in the end. But nope, she just left him alone in the woods.

This was my favorite story as a kid, but oddly enough, I’m realizing now the people who read this to me never created a melody for the little girl’s song. (I think I like B, D, E, F#, A F#, E, D for the eight syllables she uses to lull the gunniwolf to sleep. Or mi, so, la, ti, re, ti, la, so for a more flexible arrangement.)

Oh, my goodness! This book is absolutely delightful! My kids loved the sound effects when Little Girl and the Gunniwolf ran. They were laughing out loud as I read.
The illustrations are sweet. Little Girl's personality really comes through, like when she's standing talking with her mother, and she's got her back arched back a tad, her chin tucked a little, and her eyebrows raised so she's looking up at her mom through her eyelashes. I also loved the affection that came through when the little bunny rubbed his face against Little Girl's foot.
The story was sweet, too. The boisterous Gunniwolf was delightful, although one does wonder if he would have become more menacing if Little Girl hadn't run away. I watched my 32-month-old reenact the story for two of his favorite stuffed toys this evening, so I know the story made an impact on him. It would be nearly impossible not to give a positive review to a book that elicited that much cuteness from my son.
