Description:
Little Wise Wolf has time for only one thing: reading books. All right, two things: at night he studies the stars. When the other animals come to him to get answers to their difficult questions, Little Wise Wolf has no time for that. Until one day, a raven appears. The king turns out to be seriously ill, and Little Wise Wolf is called on to use his knowledge to make him better again. On the way to the palace it turns out that, although Little Wise Wolf may know a lot about the things he has read in his books, and seen in the stars, he has a lot to learn about the outside world.
My Thoughts:
Hockey in the Wild by Nicholas Oldland
It's wintertime, and the bear, the moose and the beaver can't wait for hockey season to start. They're so eager, in fact, they head out onto the ice before it's thick enough, and they all fall through. Twice. While they wait for the lake to freeze, they try to take their minds off hockey. There's competitive napping. Karaoke. Lots of comfort food. Until, at last, the day arrives when the ice is ready. But, after all that time not being active, are they ready?
Nut That Fell from the Tree by Sangeeta Bhadra (France Cormier - Illustrator)
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Description:
A playful, lively story about one acorn's difficult path to becoming a tree.
This is the house where Jill plays.
This is the oak that holds the house where Jill plays.
This is the nut that fell from the oak that holds the house where Jill plays . . .
In the style of ?The House That Jack Built,? here's a cumulative, rhyming tale that follows an acorn on an arduous journey, as one animal after another steals it, drops it or tosses it, sending the acorn inside an old shoe, high above the trees and down to the bottom of a stream. But in the end, the rat, goose, bear and more turn out to simply be the conduits that help the acorn eventually land on a hillside, where the warm sun helps it grow into another grand oak tree, which now holds the house where Jack (Jill's grandson) plays.

I'm always looking for new kiddy books for my grand kids, but they're younger than your little guy. Five and two. I like the cover to Hockey in the Wild and my grandson loves books with humor in them. I'll definitely check out Nut That Fell From the Tree seeing your 5 stars. Even if it's a little advanced for them now they can enjoy it when they get older.
