I found this book to be a little misleading...I loved the illustrations - they are darling and sweet and well done. But I found the story line a little too much for my 4 year old. The story is about a wolf who raises a baby duck - not because she loves it, but in order to fatten it up and make a nice juicy dinner for herself. Should I eat it now, or wait until it's bigger so it makes a bigger meal? I know, I know...real wolves eat real ducks in the real world, but I felt uncomfortable reading this storyline to my child at this point. Maybe for ages 5 or 6 and up.
