Wolf man is causing havoc through the town, scaring people, eating trees & finally comes knocking on the chief of police’s door, but what does he want? It’s a funny romp with fantastic illustrations.

I liked the scary looking wolf man, and the illustrations of his shadow looming on the wall and his eyes peering through the letterbox inject the perfect amount of tension which is then released by the laugh out loud ending.

Having requested the story a number of times, Freya is now adept at delivering the final great punchline with aplomb. A great story to read aloud & for the kids to join in.

The book uses uncluttered backgrounds and text in clear lines with slightly more spacing than usual to make it more accessible, especially to dyslexic readers.
