Scribble has consistently put out fantastic children's books since its launch in late 2016 and Howl is no exception. This is exactly the kind of gorgeous, imaginative, giftable picture book that booksellers will find themselves recommending far and wide come the lead-up to Christmas.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-Bronte Coates, \u003ci\u003eBooks+Publishing\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'\u003ci\u003eHowl\u003c\/i\u003e is a book for our times, especially for mothers and children in lockdown.

Scribbly strokes of coloured pencil, chalk pastel, and wax crayon appropriately illustrate Maggie's frustrations. The refrain 'If I am a  person , I am also a wolf' paints personhood as part and parcel of having wolfish feelings, and Wolf Mom's advice ('Take a deep breath. Count to seven, which is ten in human breaths, and imagine your biggest feelings flying into the sky') will prove useful for anyone having one of those days.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48185238356126,"sku":"UBD-9781925849806","price":27.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781925849806.jpg?v=1787486493","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781925849806","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
