The Wolf in Underpants Breaks Free
From the Series The Wolf in Underpants
The Wolf in Underpants is arrested for being a lazypants!
The Wolf helps out around the forest, but he doesn’t ask for coins in return. That makes some other animals suspicious. They say everyone has to work—and they toss the Wolf in prison! While the anti-wolf brigade questions the Wolf’s friends, the Wolf hatches a plan to break free. In the fourth tale of the Eisner-nominated Wolf in Underpants series, Wilfrid Lupano and Mayana Itoiz share a hilarious fable about the work in life that matters most.

Author: Wilfrid Lupano
Wilfrid Lupano was born in Nantes, in the west of France, and spent most of his childhood in the southwestern city of Pau, France. He spent his childhood reading through his parents' comic book collection and enjoying role‑playing games. He studied literature and philosophy, receiving a degree in English, before he began to script comics. He has written numerous graphic novels for French readers, including the series Les Vieux Fourneaux (in English, The Old Geezers). With this series, Lupano and Paul Cauuet first developed the idea that would become The Wolf in Underpants. Lupano once again lives in Pau after spending several years in the city of Toulouse.

Reviews
Children's Literature Comprehensive Database (CLCD)
“The illustrations challenge your eyes as well as telling the story. . . If you have a reluctant reader this will tickle their humor bone as well as getting them to read. Reviewer Rating: 5” —Children’s Literature
School Library Journal
“[T]here’s a moral nestled in this funny book—as well as some pointed commentary about capitalism . . . Engaging art and high appeal make this import a fresh addition to most collections.” —School Library Journal
Kirkus Reviews
“A clear message that there’s more to life than making a living.”—Kirkus Reviews
