Grrrrrreat Book!

This story did not fit the stereotypical theme for children's books. It's creativity kept us interested as readers throughout the entire story. While the illustrations were colorful and unique, they also helped paint a clear image of what the author was trying to depict. As future teachers, this book would be a wonderful asset to our classroom libraries. We would highly recommend this book to parents and to other teachers.

A wonderful story for anyone with a quirky sense of humor.

I recommend this book to many people as a wonderful twist on an old tale. The illustrations are delightfully spooky, and the violence is always off-scene. I am a great lover of animals and children who also are might be a tiny bit disturbed at the pets' disappearances. However, I especially appreciate it as a way to open up discussion about different cultural expectations and about parents knowing what's best for their children. The book is also great at giving clues; from Angelina's name to the family pictures on the walls, there are werewolf signals everywhere.
