THE WOLF WILL NOT COME
KIRKUS REVIEWS (STARRED REVIEW), JULY 2019
BOOKS OF 2019
This clever story disarms childhood bedtime anxieties in an unexpected way. A small rabbit getting ready for bed questions his mother on how she can be so sure that the wolf will not come to their house. Meanwhile, on the opposite page, we follow the progress of the wolf indeed creeping closer and closer to them, foiling the mother’s reassurances one by one. In a delightful twist, the rabbit’s fears are defused and all ends well. The irresistible drawings and surprise ending put nighttime anxieties in lighthearted perspective.

We would recommend this game [The Mad Hacker] for other kids especially if they like escape room puzzles and figuring out puzzles in stories.
The Last Dragon consisted of reasonable, ageappropriate, varied puzzles. Overall, the puzzles required enough process for kids to build mastery and feel that they had earned their wins.

Between the included model instructions and a child’s imagination, ArchiTek contains unlimited possibilities. Kids who like to build with Legos®, Magnetic Kits, or even good old-fashioned Lincoln Logs®; find construction fascinating; or wonder how things are made will love ArchiTek.
It’s a fun idea for a Discovery Club activity, and small groups can work on one robot at a time, if your budget permits you to buy a few copies. Create a robot army, or an army of one—either way, Super Robot is a fun build that get kids working with their hands.
