MWC editorial selection · Updated
By Aaron Blabey
What is it about?
Mr. Wolf wants his notorious animal friends to try being heroes. Their first good deed is a dog-pound rescue that is unlikely to go quietly.
Who might enjoy it?
A good opening for a reader who prefers action, expressions and dialogue to long descriptive passages. Try giving each character a different voice when reading together.
Things to consider
Cartoon danger, rude humour and chaotic plans. Later adventures grow more elaborate.
A question to take into your reading
