Families who loved The Wolf in Underpants Breaks Free by Wilfrid Lupano often look for books with a similar feel. These 20 recommendations were selected for their similarity in style, theme, and reading level.
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the weight of a bad reputation or feels that others are judging them based on past mistakes. While it features a wolf, it is actually a clever exploration of social prejudice and the difficulty of changing a narrative once it has been set by the crowd. The story follows a formerly feared wolf who, now wearing cozy underpants, finds that being 'good' is surprisingly complicated when the community prefers him as a villain. It is a witty, visually engaging graphic novel for ages 7 to 10 that provides a safe space to discuss fairness, the courage it takes to be oneself, and how we treat those we have labeled as outsiders.
