Adorable! When a Wolf is Hungry is a lovely book for older children. They will wonder and despair along with Lone Wolf on his journey to eat a rabbit named Max. I loved the ending and its underlying moral: that community building leads to fulfillment.

This is a fun story that shows the Big Bad Wolf as a lonely, rather nice guy. Edmond Bigsnout lives alone in the woods. When he gets hungry, he heads off to the city to find a fancy rabbit dinner. When he arrives at an apartment house, he sees that a small rabbit lives inside. The problem is that everytime he heads up in the elevator, he meets a resident who asks to borrow whatever implement he has with him like a pot, a chainsaw, a BBQ and more. When he finally arrives at the rabbit's door, he finds a sign that says he is up on the roof. Once he gets up there, all the apartment dwellers are having a party and he is invited. He gives up eating meat and becomes a vegetarian and moves into the apartment house. This is a short, quirky, read, that shows what friendship really is. This is a cute book for primary classrooms as a read aloud with lots of predictions and inferencing possibilities. The illustrations are great. They are not detailed, but they show expression and add to the story. They are large and colourful and will definitely get the attention of children. A good addition to a classroom or school library.

Edmond Bigsnout is a hungry wolf that keeps running into obstacles as he tries to soothe his rumbling belly. The illustrations are excellent and compliment the text. I love that the wolf evolves at the end and decides to make significant dietary changes.

This picture book was very cute. At first I thought it with the dark illustrations and subject matter it might be a bit too morbid. When I completed it, I thought what a cute book. I enjoyed this illustrations and that the "big bad wolf" shared his belongings. At the end of the day I enjoyed the moral of the story that what we set out wanting the most isn't always what we end up wanting the most in the end.

After having decided that he wanted a tasty city rabbit for his next meal Mr. Bigsnout makes the trip to and from the city multiple times--each time empty handed. Why does he keep making the trip? His knife, grill, pot... everything that he plans on using to help him eat the rabbit gets borrowed by one of his neighbors!

With his plans foiled over and over how will he ever get his choice meal? Finally he takes his mustard and plan on eating the rabbit just as he is. He does this, only to find that the rabbit has gone to roof-- and with him all of his neighbors and all of the wolf's belongings!

Joining a party and learning about what it can be like with others is where we leave our Mr. Bigsnout.

This book is a funny tale on the determination of a wolf and the ways that he, unwittingly, joins in a community fun.

We enjoyed this comical title featuring Edmond, the hungry wolf. Edmond is determined to have his rabbit dinner, but he finds himself thwarted at every opportunity by the residents living in his rabbit target's building. The illustrations are humorous, and the story is ultimately non-violent. The humor is slightly above our three year old's grasp so I would recommend it for older (K+) children.

A wonderful and interesting take on the "hungry wolf" tome. Lovely from beginning to end.

A short, quirky, light-hearted read, packed with friendship and a famished lone wolf who doesn't remains so lonely by the end! Although I liked the plot overall, the ending was a bit abrupt and could've been better executed but the beautiful illustrations tinted with shades of grey, bold black and chalk-white made up for it!

Overall, something the kids would enjoy and which is worthwhile of 10 minutes of your time.

I would definitely use this book in my classroom! It was a fun take on the big bad wolf, who ends up not being so bad at the end of the story! I liked that it was mostly set in a city, because it would be easy for my students to relate to (since they live in an urban setting). It would also be great to teach the concept of sequencing (who does the wolf meet first, second, third, etc.). I know the kids would think it's funny too, which is always great for keeping them engaged and listening! Great read!!!

This was such a cute little book about a hungry wolf who goes into the city to find a rabbit to eat and because he is so socially awkward, he winds up making friends with all of the rabbit's neighbors who mistake him for a new tennant in their building. The characters are fun and the illustrations are nice. I would have liked to have seen a bit more humor, but this was enjoyable.

I went into this book thinking it would be a take off from some common fairy tales. My assumptions were incorrect. I was a little taken aback by the blatant use of tools in order to kill the rabbit. It seemed a little over the top to me and maybe not totally appropriate for a picture book geared toward younger audiences. I appreciated the ending where he became a vegetarian because of the neighbors' kindness.

A hungry wolf is going to the city to find a tasty rabbit to eat. On his way to his apartment, he is constantly distracted from his aim by various neighbours who either are requesting his help or just want to invite him to a party. The wolf will end up becoming vegetarian, falling in love with an attractive she-wolf and moving to the city. It is a nice story about the strength of community and how people can be turned from doing bad deeds through kindness and by simply making them part of a bigger community. An interesting read, for children from 4 to 8.
