Even better, she draws the story as she sees it, in entertaining childlike illustrations that mirror—and sometimes humorously deviate from—Roberts’s watercolor and pen art showing the book’s true events.\u003cbr\u003e—The Horn Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Early one morning, a mouse met a wolf, and he was quickly gobbled up.’ It’s a grim start for a picture book, but children acquainted with Jon Klassen’s deadpan illustrations will expect nothing less from ‘The Wolf, the Duck \u0026amp; the Mouse.’ Of course, the mouse gets gobbled. Gobbling, as 4- to 8-year-olds know from ‘I Want My Hat Back’ (2011) and ‘This Is Not My Hat’ (2012), is a Klassen specialty.
