I have a lot of empathy with Wolfboy. Wolfboy is that devastating combination of hungry and angry. The 'hangrier' he gets, the more destructive he is. He stomps through the night time forest, looking for rabbits. What will happen when he finds them? This is beautifully observed and a great way of exploring and understanding an issue that affects many small children (and me) and allowing them to play with the idea of standing outside of themselves and looking at their behaviours. It's just spooky enough to have a lovely tension throughout and it has a wonderful twist to the tale. Fantastically illustrated with Harkness' claymation stills, this is fantastic fun.

A fun picture book about a very hungry wolfboy, although nothing is quite as it seems... Wolfboy is hungry (and grumpy!) and he's on a moonlit hunt for rabbits, crossing murky creeks and steep ravines. The further he travels, the hungrier (and grumpier!) he gets. But then, in the moonlight, he sees two long ears... Wolfboy is really fun to read aloud, with lots of sound effects (especially if you're used to looking after hungry, grumpy toddlers!) My son really enjoyed listening to this story and loved the twist at the end. Harkness's distinctive, clay sculpted artwork is bright and memorable, and creates an immersive world for wolfboy and the rabbits to inhabit. I was provided with an advanced, digital copy of Wolfboy for review.

I bought this book for my nephew as he is notorious for his hangry states. He loved the story and enjoyed the ending, he was very worried for the bunnies but when it got the happy ending he loved it and wanted it read again. The model work is meticulous and works so well to set the mood in the story. A real achievement

This is for everyone who get a touch of Hangry when meal times are approaching...

Whilst the story was nice and my kids enjoyed the book to a degree this isn't one that they repeatedly ask for and I don't really like the style of the illustrations. I've read a few books with the same message with better illustrations so it isn't a first choice for me.
