Reviews for Little Wolf’s Book of Badness

[agrudzien_5 · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Little Wolf is sent away from his family to join his uncle (Big Bad Wolf) to learn how to be bad. Even though badness isn't really something you can learn, Little Wolf is determined to do his best and make his parents proud. Along his journey, he writes to his parents to keep them up on his adventures (and misadventures) in badness. The premise is there to be funny, but I didn't laugh at all. I just kept looking to see how many pages were left. While I'm sure some readers will enjoy it, the terrible spelling and weird words will make it harder for younger kids.

Very funny story about a young wolf who has a tough time being bad. Through letters home and meeting new aquaintences along the way, the little wolf learns many lessons - funny and serious. I highly recommend this book to students in grades 3rd-5th.
