A hilariously relatable story about learning to share and tantrums with bright, bold and quirky illustrations from Gwen Millward.
It all started with a GROWL.
Poppy and Max are brother and sister. And brothers and sisters are supposed to share . . . except Poppy was playing with MAX'S truck! Max was cross. Poppy was cross. And then suddenly . . . CRASH! FLASH! FIZZ!
THEY WERE WILDLINGS!
Can mum and dad find a way to get the less wild and much less hairy Poppy and Max back? Or will the children find a way to work together before it goes from bad to worse?
This fantastically funny story represents a blended family and gives voice to how tricky sharing can be as well as how to process the anger, frustration and jealousy that comes with it. Inspired by Maurice Sendak's well-loved characters from Where the Wild Things Are, Meet the Wildlings is the perfect addition for fans of the I Really Want to series, Barbara Throws a Wobbler, Tiny Tantrum and Sharing a Shell.
The vivid, quirky illustrations bring this relatable story to life and 0-5-year-olds will love the bold characters and use of onomatopoeia. -- Tom Tolkien * School Reading List *
Delightful and brilliantly illustrated to show just how beastly fighting siblings can be. -- Erin Hamilton * My Shelves Are Full *
Millward's funny and wholly relatable story about learning to share and the dreaded tantrums springs to life with a gallery of bright, bold and quirky illustrations. At its heart is a blended family who give voice to how tricky sharing can be, as well as showing youngsters how they can process their anger, frustration and jealousy. Wildly educational! -- Pam Norfolk * Lancashire Evening Post *
This is a really humorous story emphasising just how tricky sharing can be. We love the page at the back of the book on how to spot a Wildling (we have at least two in our house), with its laugh out loud tick list! The illustrations are colourful and fun, bringing to life the humour of the story in all its glory. A brilliant book, encouraging children to learn to share and get along with their siblings. * Mini Travellers *
This is a bright and lively story for the very young and will work very well in nursery and KS1 classrooms as well as at home where it might be that some sibling rivalry needs to be resolved! * Armadillo Magazine *
