Finan's watercolour illustrations are soft around the edges, creating a wonderfully friendly pack of wolves, individuated by size and expression. The central theme of the book, meanwhile, will resonate with young introverts attempting to accommodate solitary impulses with the social demands of family life and pre-school.' * The Irish Times *
Book of the Week 'An impressively strong debut from Sarah, full of wintry wonder and a strong moral heart. It's howlingly good stuff!' * Read it Daddy *

Picture Book of the Week 'The artwork is atmospheric, the hues of blue conveying the cold, the thick brush strokes which give texture to the wolves coats as well as movement to their surroundings... a strong debut from Finan, who is an illustrator to watch.' * Library Mice *
'My favourite bit was when all the wolf pack helped Erik. I wouldn't like to be a lone wolf. Erik is better when he's safe with his family!' * Aiden, age 5, for lovereading4kids.co.uk *
'My five year old enjoyed reading this alone and having it read to him. The pictures were very descriptive with lots of different images to explore and talk about.' * mother, age 5, for lovereading4kids.co.uk *
'I liked this story because the pictures are really good to look at. They look a bit like paintings. I liked Erik and he tries to be a wolf on his own so that he can do what he likes but he finds out that he always needs the wolf pack to keep him safe. I really like wolves so this was a great book for me!' * Abbie Collings, age 5, for lovereading4kids.co.uk *
'Lovely, heart-warming story with beautiful illustrations.' * mother, for lovereading4kids.co.uk *
'I like this book because it is funny and Erik wants to be a lone wolf but it goes wrong. I liked it because the book is snowy and it was snowing outside too!' * George, age 5, for lovereading4kids.co.uk *
