Lobito Aprende a Ser Malo (in Spanish)

Cute book - in Spanish - bought it for my 5th grader who is in a Spanish Immersion school. He loved it. Appropriate for ages 8 - 12.

Reading Is Fun

This book created an interest in reading for my 7 year old at that time when reading became more of a struggle than a delight. We stumbled across Little Wolf's Book on the not so exciting weekly trip to the library. My son started reading the book in the car and for once I had to make him put a book down before coming to my dinning room table. My son read the book in four days and even took it to school and told some of his friends about Little Wolf. My son even took his own money and bought himself a journal. This book even encourages other good habits. To this day my son writes daily, sometimes twice a day. I am loving every bit of his enthusiasm toward reading and writing. For the person who ridicules this book must have been born a reader, born a master of the English language and never had to start at A then make his/her way to Z! From my son's experience with this book I can attest to the knowledge we fail to recognize our children have. My son took the misspelled words and related to them. When he first began writing the words resembled the misspelled words in the book. He wrote the sounds he heard just as he heard them. It's all in the process of learning. It made my son feel better knowing that he is not the only one misspells words while writing. Little did I know this book was made for the 9-12 age groups, not for a seven year old, but it worked wonders. Built his confidence and created a passion for reading and writing. Thank you Ian Whybrow!

Makes Reading Fun -- Recommended to Parents & Librarians

Fun reading for third and fourth graders. Parents (or teachers) and kids can take turns reading aloud about the adventures of good Little Wolf as he learns to be a big, bad wolf. The character is really endearing. The illustrations and map are great. We're waiting for the next installment due out May 2000.
