[Review and Giveaway]
I stood in amaze from afar, watching this boy reading those 5 books in one seating within half an hour. It has happened before, but only to books he is very interested in. It got me curious to find out why those 5 books intrigued him.
I got a chance to read through those 5 books after the boy called it a day. I hate to admit but I did what he did: read through the 5 books in one seating.
The Wolf series is an International bestseller. It was sold in 20 countries in 15 languages. I'm impressed that the English version was translated by Wild Crane Press editor Rayne Ngoi. The Wolf series is about the adventures of a grumpy wolf who discovers through many mishaps, the value of friendship, self-acceptance, humility and other values. The childlike humour entertains the children yet teaching them necessary values.
The Wolf who searched for a girlfriend
The theme of this book is on love. Wolf felt lonely and wanted to look for the love of his life. But he knew nothing about love! His friends taught him, and he eventually found the love of his life. One will easily fall in love with this cute Wolf too. I would recommend this to be the first book to read.
The Wolf who wanted to be an artist
This book introduces various occupations in the art field. The Wolf explored different art occupations and finally landed one that suit him best.
The Wolf who wanted to change his colour
This book teaches the children about self-acceptance and colours. The Wolf was quite bored with his black fur and wanted to change to other colours in attempt to make himself more handsome. Very young children who read this book will be elated to notice that the colour names are actually printed in the respective colours as well.
The Wolf who loved himself too much
Who would like someone who is snobbish, aloof and supercilious? Certainly no one! This book brought the children through these types of characters with the intention to teach them it is better to be humble. I personally find this one of the best read.
The Wolf who did not want to walk anymore
Like toddlers who can walk well but are always yearning to be carried, Wolf declared that he has had enough of walking. So he tried different modes of transportation every month and guess what he settled with eventually? This book covers different types of vehicles and highlights the month for early readers.
