In this wordless meta-story, a mouse "chews" a heart-shaped hole through a page (not literally, just an illustrated hole), then chews flaps into the page, which he folds to make a paper house. He's joined by a friend, and together the two gaze contentedly out of the heart at readers. Felix's dainty illustrations are as charming as ever in this newly designed edition.

Felix's delicate line illustrations are as appealing as the concepts in these works of wordless preschool metafiction. In Alphabet, a mouse chews through several of the book's pages, collecting letters. With a friend, he arranges scraps of paper into the alphabet. In Wind, he chews through a page again; this time the wind blows through the hole in the book. Review covers these titles: The Alphabet and The Wind.

After rabbit Rupert hears that a wolf is coming, he alerts cat Cleo, and so on, until they get to wolf Wallace, who invites them into his home and...doesn't eat them. The story has vitality, but it's frustratingly unclear if Wallace is the wolf in question. Felix's boisterous illustrations make up for the child-repelling newspaper-clipping cover.
