Customer Reviews

I went HUH and my daughter said I LIKE IT..

This is a book that at first read (as others have said) is a little strange and abrupt in personality change. At first, she is scared of everything and then later she morphs into this strong girl who makes the best of her situation. She plays with wolves that are more dangerous than the other things she was scared of earlier in the book and finally, says to heck with waiting for someone to save me. I will save myself. My 3 year old daughter loves this book. I ascertained from her answers to my questions that she could identify with sometimes being afraid of everything no matter how small & silly to most and other times being strong and independent in situations that in general others might be strongly afraid to approach. I think its a great book. It took me several reads to appreciate it. My daughter loved it immediately.

A fun animal story

"Bridget and the Gray Wolves" is a children's picture story by Pija Lindenbaum; Kjersti Board is credited as the translator. The book tells about Bridget, a very cautious child who is "afraid of most things." After getting separated from her day care group, Bridget has a friendly encounter with a pack of playful wolves.I found "Bridget" to be an odd and uneven book: it starts out like a realistic "social situation" type children's book, and unexpectedly morphs into a lighthearted talking animal story. I also felt that Bridget's character changed too abruptly. Still, this is a fun book with goofy, enjoyable artwork. Give it a try!
