About This Book
Oscar the Grouch meets Frog & Toad in this hilarious illustrated early reader series about a cranky wolf on a quest to be left alone.
Wolf has just the right amount of friends: NONE. He loves to be alone. Unfortunately, everywhere he goes, other people are there too. At school, the teacher says if he can't get along with the other students, he has to leave. So he goes to the movies. More people! He tries the beach. No peace there, either. He flees to the remote peak of a mountain, and even there, someone comes along to bother him.
Finally, Wolf hatches a plan. All these people arrive for a party at Wolf's house . . . while Wolf makes a quick exit.
Move over, Elephant & Piggie! For readers who have had enough of the buddy duos, for kids who'd rather play by themselves—Wolf is the antihero you've been waiting for. Lone Wolf Goes to School is the first in a hilarious early reader series starring the completely lovable, chronically grumpy Wolf, a character who affirms kids who fly solo better than with friends.
Kids who are beginning to read on their own won't be able to get enough of Kiah Thomas's sarcastic stories, perfect whether read alone or out loud, and K-Fai Steele's laugh-out-loud illustrations will give any kid, no matter their reading level, a new favorite series.
