Gaiman's: The Wolves in the Walls

Picture books just don't look like they used to. Neil Gaiman writes a nightmarish tale of wolves coming from the walls of Lucy's family's home. Lucy knows and warns, but her family denies and ignores until it is too late. Will the family stay to fight or run in fear? McKean's paint/drawing embellished photo collages help set the foreboding tone. This off-the-wall story wouldn't be complete without a surprise visit from the Queen of Melanesia to assist with the gardening. When it comes right down to it, this story is about facing fears and an important pig puppet. Gaiman may also be having a little fun with the idea of urban legends.
