Little Wolf has been brushing his teeth without being growled at, he’s been going to bed early, and he’s been far too nice to his baby brother, Smellybreff. His parents, concerned they will never make a beast of him, send Little Wolf off to Cunning College, where his Uncle Bigbad instructs timid cubs in the rules of badness.

Reviews

Kirkus Reviews

“. . .fans of Dav Pilkey’s Captain Underpants will be heartily amused by this broad British farce.”
—Kirkus Reviews

Starred Review School Library Journal

“. . .the fall-down funny story of a cheerful nonconformist finding a way to be himself. Written in a style somewhere between A. A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh and Dav Pilkey’s The Adventures of Captain Underpants the story owes it humor as much to Ross’s line drawings of the irrepressible youngster as to Whybrow’s clever narrative. The book begs to be read aloud. . . Successful as comedy, fractured fairy tale and coming-of-age story all in one, Little Wolf’s Book of Badness is terrific.”
—Starred, School Library Journal

The Horn Book Magazine

“This is a delicious, laugh-out-loud revisionist view of the fairy-tale cad as reported by his nephew, Little Wolf, in animated letters home from Cunning College.”
—The Horn Book Magazine
