The Wolf and the Fly is a delightful guessing, memory, observation and naming game in which one toy after the next disappears into the mouth of a hungry wolf. From New York Times Illustrated Book recipient Antje Damm.

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.

Industry Reviews

There's a great (and rather disgusting) surprise at the end which is bound to raise laughter. A modern version of the Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly, this is a great board book for sharing with children who love a good laugh.

-- Irish Independent

Damm has created a clever interactive puzzle book that combines a story and guessing, memory, observation, and naming game in which one toy after another disappears. An ideal book for parents to share and enjoy with toddlers as they guess which objects on the shelf will be eaten next.

-- Outside in World

A nifty board book that is both a story and a memory game.

-- NZ Poetry Box - Paula Green

This book ticks all the boxes for me: age appropriate, funny and expressive, hidden clues, interactivity, suspense, a greedy protagonist, a tiny bit gross and the design feels spot on.

-- The Sapling

"With each turn of the page, young readers are challenged to identify which item is missing, and they will likely squeal with delight as they do."
