Many thanks to Netgalley and Lerner Publishing Group for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Oh, wow, this was soo entertaining, the art work in this graphic novel was sooo beautiful, and the story was well done, albeit little weird, but I'm not going to dissect it much.

Cute, fun, funny.

A too cute children’s book with a fun story and positive message. It was a little longer than most, but still a good story.

I loved this book. It is so apt for the kids, and the overall message is sweet. The illustrations are colorful and vibrant. All the characters are lovable, and I just adored the friendship between the wolf and the chicken.

Overall, this is a fun book that will make you laugh and bring a smile to your face.

This was a book with a sweet message for kids about inclusion. I enjoyed the illustrations and the writing. I’ve never heard of this series but I’m going to check out the others for my preschooler/kindergartener now

It is the day of the big race, The Fast and The Featherest. Everyone is gearing up and excited. When there is something or someone going around destroying the posters, it takes a wolf in underpants. While reading humorous to both kids and parents, Wilfred comes to a very happy ending for everyone that day.

The Wolf in Underpants at Full Speed is a graphic novel, but in many ways feels like a picture book. Because of this, I think it will appeal more to my younger readers (1st-2nd grade) than the full 2nd-5th grade age range listed by the publisher.

The chickadee's jealousy-induced tantrum is both relatable and humorous. And of course, there's a wolf. Wearing striped underwear.

As an adult, I appreciate the kind way the wolf dealt with the chickadee. And the lesson that it isn't all about winning the race (especially when winning would have been a bit like cheating). Sometimes it's enough just to have fun being part of the experience.

Thank you to the publisher and to Net Galley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Marketed for children but for my son it was way to old. I thought it a bit odd and I was not a huge fan.

We meet our titular character in a forest, where every year, there is a race to determine which one of the animals can run or fly faster.

His job is to discover who has been defacing posters that have to do with that.

Imagine his surprise when he discovers that the culprit, is a small and very angry chicken. To his dismay, he cannot enter the competition, because his one wing is smaller than the other and he can't fly neither straight nor fast.

The wolf promises to help him not only enter the competition, but win as well.
And so he does.

On the day of the race, he uses his underpants as a slingshot and pushes his friend near the finish line.

But just a few seconds before crossing it, the chicken realizes that he enjoys his friendship with the wolf more, and doesn't care about winning the race anymore. He even announces that he has discovered a new passion, he now wants to become an astronaut.

And the story ends on a very happy note, with the wolf and the chicken having established a cute friendship.

I know I might have made it sound like something that isn't really special but I swear, this book made me laugh.

It's very cute, it has a nice message behind it and I found the writing and artworks to be nicely and smartly executed.

Oh! This was so cute. I loved everything about this graphic book. The colours were vibrant, the characters were a delight especially Chiky and Wolfy. Don't get me started on The story. A praphic book with all the positive vibes needed

I felt like there wasn’t enough to this story. Very little character development or plot development. The drawings are pretty good though. I like all the stuff going on in the background.

The pictures are good and that is the best part of this book.
However I didn't think the language was really that child friendly and I dont think the storyline was that brilliant either.

What a fun book for kids! This story is about a special race day in the forest, all the animals are excited, but someone is destroying the posters advertising the day. The wolf in underpants discover who is ruining the posters, why, and decides to help!

Kids always LOVE books that talk about underwear and they will surely love this one. The illustrations are wonderful, there is beautifully rich language, and a good message. I will buy this book to read to my students!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for a free review.

I enjoyed reading this children's book. It was a cute read about believing in yourself no matter the obstacle you face. The illustrations were the best part and I even laughed out loud a couple of times. My daughter read this along with me and loved it.

Thank you to #Netgalley and #LearnerPublishingGroup for the Advanced Copy of this book.

I love this book so much! The first one I read was good, but this one is great! I laughed all throughout it and really got into reading everything in the background that everyone was saying. The illustrations are wonderfully done and really bring out all the characters.

Thank you Lerner Publishing Group and NetGalley for the digital advance reading copy of this book.

The Wolf in Underpants series is so silly and fun. I love that each story includes a lesson to be learned; in this book we learned that we should pay attention to others when they are acting out as there is probably a deeper reason for their actions.

I love how crazy busy each page is; kids will probably notice something new each time they read it.

I really liked the cover, title, and characters. I know this title would be a big hit with k-5 students. I liked the concept of this story but wish the dialogue on pages 12-15 was different/ more appropriate for a younger audience. It has the potential to be a great Social Emotional Learning story about perseverance, self control, emotions, and kindness but falls short of those connections. I hoped for more but this book was still comical and I enjoyed the concept.

I would read this to my kids, for sure.

Cute story, with a lovely story behind it!
About an Angry bird who is intent on ruining posters etc for a big race, but it turns out he is in fact jealous because he has a disability.
Lovely illustrations too.
