Book Overview
A timid girl tames a wolf pack. Bridget is a very careful child. She never climbs on roofs or pets dogs or jumps over ditches. In fact, she's afraid of most things. But when Bridget gets lost and meets up with a pack of gray wolves in the deep, dark woods, she takes charge. First she makes them play even though they prefer to "lurk behind trees and snarl." They aren't much good at games, though. When their stomachs begin to growl, she feeds them her mud soup, and finally she puts them to bed after having sent them off to their peeing trees. Humorous, bold art-- little, freckled Bridget in her red, hooded sweatshirt, huge shaggy, gray wolves, and tall purple pines-- perfectly compliments this very funny tale.

I went HUH and my daughter said I LIKE IT..
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is a book that at first read (as others have said) is a little strange and abrupt in personality change. At first, she is scared of everything and then later she morphs into this strong girl who makes the best of her situation. She plays with wolves that are more dangerous than the other things she was scared of earlier in the book and finally, says to heck with waiting for someone to save me. I will save myself. My 3 year old daughter loves this book. I ascertained from her answers to my questions that she could identify with sometimes being afraid of everything no matter how small & silly to most and other times being strong and independent in situations that in general others might be strongly afraid to approach. I think its a great book. It took me several reads to appreciate it. My daughter loved it immediately.
A fun animal story

"Bridget and the Gray Wolves" is a children's picture story by Pija Lindenbaum; Kjersti Board is credited as the translator. The book tells about Bridget, a very cautious child who is "afraid of most things." After getting separated from her day care group, Bridget has a friendly encounter with a pack of playful wolves.I found "Bridget" to be an odd and uneven book: it starts out like a realistic "social situation" type children's book, and unexpectedly morphs into a lighthearted talking animal story. I also felt that Bridget's character changed too abruptly. Still, this is a fun book with goofy, enjoyable artwork. Give it a try!
