The Wolf Who Didn't Like to Read

Description

Age range 3 to 6 There once was a wolf whose appetite for books was insatiable. Big, small, fairy tales, dictionaries... He devoured them all! His taste for paper was only matched by his great aversion for reading. Reading was so boring! That is until Wolf found himself in the Country of Books where he had to help a librarian find 10 missing books. This story will help parents and educators address children's resistance to reading. It also intro-duces young readers to twelve great classics as they learn to turn the pages, rather than eat them. Works featured include Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Pinocchio, the Jungle Book.

I live in Brittany, on a re-purposed farm full of joy and inspiration. The sun always shines and the ocean isn't far. What I need on a daily basis? Love, friends, books, and time to myself! And I need to move and be active, otherwise I get cranky! When I'm not writing, I'm looking after my large family! Ever since she was a little girl, Eleonore loved drawing. After numerous lectures about the importance of bedtime stories given to her toys and dolls, Eleonore became a designer, first in the world of fashion before going back to her initial love for drawing monsters, wolves, princesses and witches! She now lives in the south of France with her 2 children and her 2 cats.
