The book fabulously captures the bias so many of us display-we might say what we want about our family, but as soon as an outsider says something negative about our family, we immediately bristle and rise to their defense. It isn't until Wolfie is, in turn, threatened that Dot steps in to protect Wolfie. As it turns out, Wolfie isn't a threat to the family. Dot recognizes the wolf in bunny's clothing-quite literally, in a hilarious nod to the figurative wolf in sheep's clothing, a growing Wolfie is dressed up in a pink bunny outfit to go outside-and warns that the wolf will eat them all. Dot, an only bunny-child in a family of bunnies is suspicious of the new wolf baby her parents have so enthusiastically welcomed to the family. Wolfie the Bunny is a clever take on the emotions and stress children can face dealing with new additions to their own family.
