Publisher Comments:

Popular chapter book characters Little Wolf and his brother Smellybreff debut in their very first picture book! Little Wolf and Smellybreff are learning how to be big and bad just like their mom and dad. For their first badness lesson, Dad scares away bridge workers, kicks over their warning lights, and eats their lunches! When they go to a cafe to practice being naughty, Smellybreff shows he is a quick learner--he makes a huge mess! But poor Little Wolf--he sometimes ends up being good by mistake. Will Little Wolf ever manage to be really bad?

Review:

"In this boisterous caper, the creators of the Little Wolf novels introduce that character and his little brother to a younger audience (as the subtitle indicates, 'A Little Wolf and Smellybreff Adventure'). The tale has a peppy premise: trying to encourage their offspring to grow up 'big and bad like them,' Mom and Dad Wolf teach Little Wolf and Smellybreff naughty nursery rhymes and command the cubs to be on their worst behavior. Though Smellybreff is a quick learner, sometimes his brother 'was good by mistake.' Sibling rivalry comes to the fore on a family badness-training outing. At a caf, Little Wolf's attempts to misbehave only draw compliments from the waitress, but Smellybreff triumphs. He lets out a loud burp, causes a table to overturn and, after eating four banana splits and a hot fudge sundae, vomits profusely all over the floor, a scene that even slapstick-loving kids may find overly gross. Chased out of the caf, the retreat features a twist on Little Wolf's tepidly bad deeds, causing the bad-behavior lessons to backfire quite comically. Ross (the Amber Brown series) fills his energetic art with entertaining particulars, many of which highlight Smellybreff's knack for naughtiness. Ages 5-8."

PS.
You might be interested in the Children's Book community building that we are doing via our podcast "Just One More Book!!". Just One More Book is a thrice-weekly podcast in which we take a few minutes out of our morning coffee ritual to discuss one of our many favourite children?s books.

Through this podcast and its website, we are building a lively, interactive community linking children?s book authors, illustrators, readers (parents and children) and publishers.

Episodes range in length from 5 to 12 minutes and can be played directly from our web page or downloaded to an ipod for listening on the go. Each episode is an informal discussion of one of our family?s favourite children?s books. We also feature interviews with authors, literacy related discussions or audio reviews submitted by our listeners.

This podcast is powered by passion. We have no advertisers or sponsers and there is no financial gain to be had. Our goal is to link children with great books and help create happy memories for children and the adults that read to them?and to have fun!

If you would like to share these conversations with others who are interested in connecting families and children with great children?s books, please feel free to link to this site and to pass it along to parents and teachers.

I hope you will drop in on us soon,
Andrea
