Reach for this book when your child is feeling discouraged by a new skill or is struggling to fit into a group of peers who seem more advanced. It is a perfect choice for children who feel they are not good enough at something yet, or for those who need a humorous reminder that hard work pays off in unexpected social rewards. The story follows a hungry wolf who tries to scare a group of farm animals, only to find they are far too engrossed in their books to notice him. To gain their respect, the wolf undergoes a lengthy journey of education, attending school and practicing his reading until he becomes a master storyteller. It beautifully balances themes of perseverance and self-improvement with a lighthearted, funny tone. Parents will appreciate how it models a growth mindset, showing that even a big bad wolf can change his identity through the power of literacy and patience. It is most appropriate for children ages 4 to 8 who are beginning their own reading journeys.
