Translated by Kjersti Board.
While on a field trip with her daycare center, precocious but high-strung Bridget gets left behind. She stops in a forest to ask directions from some wolves, they get to gabbing, and Bridget ultimately assumes a teacherly role with the wolves, gaining much-needed confidence in the process. Like the narrative in this absurd, affecting yarn from Sweden, the illustrations feature much humor.
