Inhaltsangabe

Part epic picture book, part graphic novel, The Five Wolves defies genres. With intricate ink work and meticulous hand-lettering, Peter McCarty has crafted a dazzling reading experience. The Five Wolves is an entrancing journey and a testament to the power of art and artists.

Across oceans, through fields, and down tunnels, five daring wolves traverse the planet in search of wonders to draw and paint. All the while, a disembodied narrator spins the tale of their absurdist adventure and asks big questions. What is art? And who does it belong to?

In The Five Wolves, beloved picture book author and Caldecott Honor recipient Peter McCarty breaks new ground. This monumental graphic saga is perfect for fans of Shaun Tan and Brian Selznick!

"Striking and provocative." —Kirkus, starred review

"...a compelling examination of life, art, and the fantastical oddities inherent in both." —Publisher's Weekly, starred review

"McCarty drastically intensifies the interplay between images and words by presenting all of the text in densely packed blocks akin to word clouds, mixing phrases with numbers and tiny drawings to bombard the reader with visual information. These blocks feel like a literalization of the idiom 'a picture says a thousand words.'"—The AV Club
