About This Item
Little, Brown, 2015. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/No Jacket. Jared Chapman color illustrations. CONDITION: NEW 2015 Little,Brown hardcover (pictorial boards) BUT NO DUST JACKET (and one was issued with this edition), first edition, first printing. Oh so clever color illustrations by the Author. Decorated end pages. CONTENT: Fair-haired Steve appears to be a regular boy, but there's one thing that sets him apart-his parents are wolves. Mrs. Wolf sends her son (cub?) off on his first day of school with some good advice: to have a great day and "just be yourself." That advice backfires as Steve acts the way he normally does-growling, howling, and pouncing-much to the dismay of his fellow students and Mrs. Meadows. On the second day, his mother suggests that he be himself while also attempting to fit in a bit more, but he continues to alienate others with his behavior. It's only when the class pet disappears from its cage that one of Steve's talents earns him the admiration of his teacher and classmates. The humorous pen and ink drawings, colored digitally using bright, saturated shades, vary from spreads to smaller framed pictures. Children will get a kick out of Steve's antics, such as giving everyone fleas, drinking from the toilet, and eating questionable food for lunch. VERDICT A great storytime book, but be prepared for some howling.
