Booklist - 01/17/2024 To see the moonset on time, Wolfboy and his rabbit friends decide to take a shortcut through the lair of the Grumble Monster. Although Wolfboy claims he isn’t scared, he can’t help but mistake the mossy tree roots for moldy monster toes and a bramble vine for a spiky monster tail, until—YIKES! It is the Grumble Monster, tall as the forest! It leans down, opens its mouth . . . and asks politely for moonberries for its grumbling tum, which Wolfboy and the rabbits happily share. As with its predecessor, Wolfboy (2021), Harkness’ artistry is impeccable. Every page is a masterpiece of multidimensional detail. The artwork is mesmerizingly original, having been meticulously formed within a virtual reality workspace and using sculpture with imported texture and digital lighting and colorization. The story is cute with a fun twist that is both surprising yet inevitable, but it’s the illustrations—from the extreme close-ups of Wolfboy peeking through his paws to the big monster reveal that twists the book on a vertical display, where you can see the author’s filmmaking experience at play—in which you'll luxuriate. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
