The Wolves in the Walls by Neil Gaiman

The Wolves in the Walls

by Neil Gaiman

When Lucy hears noises from behind the wall she tries to warn her parents that there are wolves banging about. But her parents don't listen. When the wolves finally take over the house and Lucy and her family are evicted to live in the garden, her parents realise perhaps they should have listened. But Lucy is no shrinking violet and pretty soon she has the wolves out and the family back in the house. So what was that noise Lucy heard coming from behind the wall? This is a brilliant, witty and inventive picture book with cutting-edge art, which is sure to be a hit with existing fans of Neil Gaiman as well as young readers.

Another Gaiman kid's book which I found a lot more enjoyable than most the others by him I've read so far. I can imagine that this would actually be great for a kid. Also, it has Dave McKean's beautifully idiosyncratic illustrations.
