So this is a book about wise wolf that loves reading and "wise" because he knows so much. But honestly, he is arrogant in my opinion. Because he is busy to make himself wise by learning and reading more, he did not have time to answers or even wanting to help others. He simply closed the door to everyone who needed him. Until a letter came saying that the king is ill and he have no choice but to help him. And the story continues...

This is a story that teaches about how important it is to be humble. That no matter how smart or wise you are, you'd need that connection with those around you. You'd at some point in life need someone else. Your wisdom & knowledge would be needed to help others as well :)

A good book for kids that would bring a great conversation.

First of all I would like to say I'm in love with the illustration, art and color palette of this book.
This is the story of a wolf who enjoy to read big books and he's so busy reading and learning that he has no time for the other animals of the forest.
One day he's summoned by the ill king that needs help. During his travel the wolf realises the importance of friendship, selflessness.and cooperation.
The message is powerful and the book really delightful

I am totally in love with this little book!! I adore the illustrations.

The story itself is about a little wise wolf who is book smart but makes no time for anyone or anything but reading. He is summoned to help the king who has fallen ill. But regardless of how smart he is, he struggles to get there. The other animals come to his aid even though he has consistently brushed their needs and questions aside in the past. He quickly learns the valuable lesson that no matter how much one knows they are always capable to learn more. He also learns that everyone has something of value that they can teach to someone else.

I think this story can teach young readers the importance of being kind and helping others. And also that knowledge comes from many things, not just books but from others and experiences.

I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a beautiful book about a wise little wolf who doesn’t have time for anyone. He is always to busy reading and learning. Until the king writes that he is sick and only he can help him. The journey is longer and more arduous than he thought, This is a beautiful book about friendship and cooperation.

DELIGHTFUL! A wolf becoming wise and handling adventures well, all from having read books, what's not to love?!

This is a beautifully done picture storybook with anywhere from zero to perhaps 50 words on a page, and tells the adventure of a wolf who was too busy reading to be with friends, and then learns in the end to keep love of learning while having time for friends, and still reading all he wants to read and learn all he desires to learn.

The art is lucious and rich yet simply conveys setting and action, It's a wonderful sweet book with a great lesson that learning can save lives (and perhaps kingdoms!) and should be a priority, but adventure and play should be enjoyed too. i love the lesson.

A great gift for a child, a great addition to the children's library. Recommended.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this title.

The illustrations are very nice but I found the story lacking something - it just wasn't grabbing my attention and unforutnately I don't think it would grab the attention of my children either.

Thank you, Net Galley, for a copy of this text.

Books can teach us many things, and a hunger for learning is important. However, spending time with others, taking time to help, and showing care are the most important lessons of all. Beautiful pictures and a sweet fable. Little Wise Wolf teachers children the importance of learning from and caring for others. What an amazing lesson and what a beautiful book to teach it!

Little wise wolf has no time for others- he has too much to read to become wiser. When the king calls wolf to come help him, the wolf realizes the power of friendship. This is a great book for children. So many lessons- how to treat your friends, books make you smart, and that you can't do everything on your own.

Little Wise Wolf doesn't have time for other animals and all their pesky questions. One day he is summoned by the King and finds himself lost and alone and without any help, until his animal friends help him. He learns that there is always more to learn, especially from friends and their experiences.

I really enjoyed this story. It read very much like an old fable, with a strong moral theme and a clear lesson learned. The illustrations were perfect! The complimented the text so wonderfully. I would for sure recommend this story to parents and classrooms for the future.

A sweet picture about a wolf who finds out a lot of good lessons don’t reside in the books he pours over. I loved the art and the scenery in this book. It ends with a good lesson as well.

A heartwarming story about friendship and growth. Little Wise Wolf is about a wolf who is permanently stuck in big books and has no time for others. Only through his journey to the king, he learns the importance of helping others and that there is always more to learn.

The accompanying illustrations are gorgeous and the animals are cute. I just wish the colours were more vibrant. Also, it may be difficult to view some texts as it blends in with the background at times. Other than that, this is a quick read with a satisfying ending.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A nice reminder that sharing our wisdom and knowledge is always the best option. Accompanied by lovely sparse/minimalistic illustrations, this is a nice book.

Little Wise Wolf is a beautifully illustrated folk tale that teaches us that everyone has role to play and everyone's skills and knowledge are important.

A very nice fable about cooperation, with some really pleasant and atmospheric illustration. The wise wolf, permanently with his head stuck in his books, or discovering new herbs or stars, has no time for his 'friends', until they react as only friends can when he's called off on a royal mission. It tells us to forgive impetuous people their hubris and bluntness, and that helping people can be a pleasant thing to do, even if you don't expect much back in return. Digitally the size of the font didn't always work with the full-colour artwork under the text, but a real copy would be something to look at more than once.
