Wulfie het wolfsjong by Veronica Nahmias
fast-paced
3.0
Kinda just a nothing-burger of a book, even by children's book standards. Girl can't find her wolf puppy. Wolf puppy returns. The end.
I really expected there to be a little bit more conflict or characters being proactive or just SOMETHING happening, because right now the book presents and issue that resolves itself without anyone doing anything about the situation. Wouldn't it have been a stronger message for the younger audience if they actually had the girl protagonist somehow resolve the issue of losing Wulfie? Instead of the pup just coming back by himself.
I don't know, for what it's trying to do (be a simple story and presenting some information about humans in prehistoric times) it could've been stronger. I don't need this to be a super in-depth book with super deep conflict and characters or anything, but the execution right now feels like it's really just. Bland and super forgettable. Book presents an issue and it is resolved by itself within the next thirty pages. Nobody is really pro-active here or solves the problem, it is solved by the story itself. No growth or character development whatsoever.
