Dear Little Wolf

Little Wolf #4

by Ian Whybrow

A ‘Little Wolf’ special for committed fans and new recruits as Little Wolf becomes ‘agony nephew’ for WolfWeekly. A 64 page paperback original Little Wolf title for all Little Wolf fans and fledglings. Little Wolf is given the job of being ‘agony nephew’, taking on the name Mister Helpful, for Wolf Weekly. Every week his postbag is full of problem letters from many of the brute beasts and little wigglers he has already met in his adventures chronicled in Book of Badness, Daring Deeds and Haunted Hall for Small Horrors. When a certain Akela writes to him looking for a young cub called Little Wolf, Mister Helpful reverts to being Little Wolf and joins the cubscouts at camp. Little Wolf’s answers the readers’ letters with his usual mix of cheek, fun, bad spelling and inkblots. This ‘arkstra spesh’ Little Wolf title will delight his many fans but, more importantly, will serve as an introduction to new readers and have them howling for his three epistolary novels Little Wolf’s Book of Badness; Little Wolf’s Diary of Daring Deeds and Little Wolf’s Haunted Hall for Small Horrors.

Reviews

[Louise Cowell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Little wolf books are majorly nostalgic for me! I remember reading and re-reading them all throughout primary school!! Whilst as an adult obviously it lacks some plot and follow through but it’s perfect for children. It’s quick paced, humorous and laid out as a series of letters with illustrations opposed to pages of prose which just increases the appeal to children, in particular children who might not particularly enjoy reading.

A charming and funny read for a children's book, I must say. Little Wolf or should I say Mister Helpful really expounded on his talent for writing letters. Cute fella.
