A Wolf Cub Learns a Valuable Lesson
Cute children’s story that serves as a cautionary tale of what can happen when you run away from home and the support of your family. I loved the illustrations and found the story fun and enjoyable. However, it seemed strange that our wolf pup is sitting on the cover but he and the rest of the wolves walk on their hind legs for the remainder of the story. I found minor grammatical errors, but since I was given an ARC for review, hopefully these will be corrected prior to publication.

The adorable children's story of Erik The Lone Wolf is a great way to teach young kids that parents' set rules for their sake also. They are being guided because they love and care them; parents only want the best and their kids' safety. The cute and colorful illustrations will also enchant young readers, hence the moral lesson of the story is easier to grasp.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

Welp, this looked and sounded cuter and more fun than it actually was.

Sure, the premise was cute, a wolf cub wants to be alone for a while, without his pack/family bothering/smothering him all the time. I was really looking forward to the adventures of this little wolf, but also hoping that he would eventually go home again.

Instead it starts off pretty much like I had hoped, but then x happened and then y happened and I just felt like it was way too rushed. He barely had any adventures! He barely did anything! It is such a shame, and while I can imagine the author didn't want to make it too long, I feel like this picture book could benefit with a few more pages, just to give the cub a bit more adventure and freedom.

I could understand the cub though, I think even human kids feel the same way, though they can't just climb mountains like this wolf does, but I can just imagine them climbing very high trees or going away a bit further from home. Family means the best, but sometimes you just want to be free/without the constant coddling.

The art was so-so.

All in all, it was still a fun story, and I did like the cub and the pack. :)

Touching story about a young wolf cub that feels restricted by all the rules his pack has. Teaches kids struggling with independence that rules and safety should be followed for a reason.

A heartwarming story about a young wolf who feels smothered by his family. I think a lot of children can relate to this story and hopefully it will remind them of the powerful reason behind their family's rules.

This was a really adorable book about a wolf that wants to be left alone so He becomes a lone wolf but runs into some trouble. Its a cute book to teach kids about team work and family, and how sometimes we need help from the ones we love. I was not a big fan of the illustrations and it was weird that the wolves walked upright but, overall, it was a cute story.
