One gulp, another gulp and another: one toy after the next disappears into the mouth of the hungry wolf. Now he’s almost full, just a last little fly for dessert—uh-oh! The Wolf and the Fly is both story and guessing game to play again and again. Each object on the shelf is brought to life then, when everything that’s been swallowed re-emerges, the game starts anew. This is an original and delightful guessing, memory, observation and naming game from award-winning author and illustrator Antje Damm, whose The Visitor was a New York Times Illustrated Book of the Year.

It can be hard to fall asleep because who wants to stop playing, talking, and just having fun. Sometimes, it’s just as difficult to stay asleep. There can be noises, lights, and many other distractions. Cat has this very problem in Sleep, Cat, Sleep! He’s calmly resting until you open the book and wake him up. Every time he thinks it’s safe to fall back asleep, you flip the page and bother him again! All he wants is for you to close the book so he can start dreaming away. Author and illustrator Antje Damm has created an uproariously funny book to help young children fall asleep. They will be delighted with all the different ways Cat can come up with to get kids to let him sleep. A new surprise awaits with every turn of the page, but we don’t want to give away who falls asleep at the end of this book!
