Wolf! Hardcover – Picture Book, March 1, 1999

I love to read this book when my son was younger. I purchased it so when he has his own children I'll read the same book to my grandkids (he's only 15) but I just cherish this book.

This is such a wonderful, unique twist to the old story. I've read this book five times since buying it yesterday and can't wait to read it to the second graders in my volunteer reading program. The whimsical pictures of the animals totally absorbed in reading their books and thus refusing to be disturbed by a big , bad wolf are absolutely fantastic. The wolf gets the message that these are "educated" animals, and he embarks on a great quest to learn to read. The wolf's unfaltering determination to read is truly inspiring. Don't miss the looks on the faces of the humans as they encounter (on the sidelines) the wolf throughout the story. There are also subtle signs that learning to read is helping to refine the wolf's social graces (as he announces himself to the farm animals each time). The story is great; the art is great. Definitely #1 on my gift-giving list

My daughter really enjoys this book! She especially likes the part when the wolf (aka Mom) reads super fast to impress his friends. I like that this book teaches the importance of reading fluently and with enthusiasm! I find myself doing the same things when I read it aloud to her!

As a children's picture book, this is a great one. The story is fun and offers inspiration. I use it as a first story with my new classes (1st grade for many years, now 5th grade). A great mid-year first grade student read. With upper elementary, I use it like a Dr. Seuss book to inspire as a read aloud.

I love this adorable story. Great for SEL (social emotional learning) conversations and lessons with students. Specifically goal setting and growth mindset.

This story is a required readaloud for Open Court Reading first graders. The story is a funny story about a wolf who learns to love reading because all of the barnyard animals he wants to eat are avid readers. The pictures are great, my wiggly first graders were able to follow it, and the vocabulary is completely understandable by the very young.A great choice, even if you are not an Open Court Reading teacher!

This is one of my favorites to read to my class. There is an underlying message of not giving up even if it is hard!! Wolf worked really hard to become a good reader and all his hard work pays off. Love it!!

The "big, bad wolf" wants to eat Pig, Duck and Cow, who are too busy reading to be bothered with him. He goes to school, to learn to read and his early attempts are brushed off by the animals. When he finally learns to read, he entertains Pig, Duck and Cow with his story telling skills and wins them over. This is a fabulous read aloud to launch reading and story telling activities early in the school year.

Great story to help children become inspired to read
