LoveReading4Kids Says
September 2022 Debut of the Month
Sarah Tagholm’s Wolves in Helicopters takes young readers on a thrilling, enlightening, turn-the-tables journey that transforms a young rabbit’s fears into courage.
Poor Hop is plagued by vividly scary dreams of wolves, as dramatically evoked by Paddy Donnelly’s splendidly painterly, child-centred illustrations. As she “shivers in a dark wood”, Hop is very much aware of being watched by “one hundred, hungry-eyed wolves”.
Thankfully, each time Hop wakes from such terrifying dreams, Mummy has an answer to soothe her fears — suggestions that help her be brave and banish her wolf-related blues. She just needs to remember one thing: “You are in control of the dream AND THE WOLVES”.
With an exuberant ending that sees Hop declaring “I’M THE BOSS OF THIS DREAM!”, Wolves in Helicopters is a great tool to talk through personal fears with little ones who’ll identify with Hop’s escalating night terrors and wild imagination.
