The Gunniwolf Review

on January 24, 2010

By Wilhelmina Harper

The Gunniwolf

A classic-beloved by readers, storytellers, and teachers. Unavailable for years, it is back with new illustrations by Barbara Upton. Its vibrant, rhythmic read-aloud text-sprinkled with dialect-tells the story of Little Girl, who is forbidden to enter the jungle for fear of meeting the Gunniwolf.

Rating: ****

This book has a great song that my preschooler is still singing. The only controversy is the broken English, which may be seen as offensive.
