librarianryan 's review for:

Sylvie and the Wolf by Andrea Debbink, Mercè López
2.0
emotional sad slow-paced

 
This book is beautifully illustrated.  Sophie is a little girl who has been brave for a long time. But one day, in the woods, she sees a wolf, and is afraid.  Her fear builds until it comes pouring forth to an adult, who helps her confront her fear.  This book is lovely, but it has a depressive air.  It’s a sad story of a girl and a lonely puppy who gets lost and becomes a fearful skittish adult dog.  This story did not lead where many do, which made it unique.  However, the story leaves a depressed feeling that makes it a one-time read.
