“The Wolf, the Duck and the Mouse by Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen is
a subversive delight. […] The earthy darkness of the wolf’s
interior contrasts with soft shades of moonlit forest in this
unexpected, hilarious collaboration.”
*The Guardian*
A deliciously dark and completely absurd story... Told with
devilish wit and illustrated with fearsome prowess this is
contemporary fable telling at its very best.
*WRD Magazie*
Jon Klassen and Mac Barnett are a match made in picturebook heaven.
[…] it brilliantly champions the idea of the underdog […] A treat
for adults and children alike.
*The Irish Times*
A hilarious and surreal story […] A witty lesson in how to make the
most of disaster.
*The Herald*
As ever, Barnett and Klassen amusingly provoke readers to question
apparent truths. Julia Eccleshare, LoveReading Pick of the
Month
