This book was goofy, as expected by the cover and title. It didn't make a lot of sense It's not my cup of tea, but I'm not the target audience. I plan to buy this book for the graphic novel section of my elementary library.

Wolf is such a fun character for a children's book! The illustrations are colorful and cozy, perfect for a Christmas tale. The story may be a little confusing for younger readers, but for 1-3rd grade it's perfect.

"The Wold in Underpants and the Hazelnut-Cracker" is will definitely make the children laugh, and some adults too! I rated this story 3.5 stars round to four because it was a little zig-zaggy in story-telling.

Wolf needs to buy hazelnuts for an upcoming celebration, after a hard day of shopping he falls asleep. It is within his dream that readers traverse on a goofy good vs. evil. storyline that takes place in a eeeeerie forest.

I would recommend this to 3-5th graders who enjoy a humorous tale, enjoy a good battle, and roots for the good team!

Thank you NetGalley and Lerner Publishing Group for allowing us users to access this upcoming title.

I really love these books! They are somewhat silly and so much fun to read. It's always interesting to see what Wolf is up to - did he dream it all or did it all really happen? Exactly what kind of nutcracker was he gifted? As always his adventure helps to solve a mystery and helps the other residents of the forest. Grumpy Grandpa Pickpecker was fun to meet and turned out to maybe not be such a bad guy after all. And of course, that pesky little squirrel continues to be up to no good! The illustrations are great. There are some pages that may be difficult for younger readers to follow because there are no dialogue bubbles and they will need help in figuring out what order to read everything.

I received an electronic ARC from Lerner Publishing Group through NetGalley.
Lupano brings the Wolf back for a sixth book. This one has a Christmas theme. Wolf heads to the market area to purchase supplies for gifts and is given a gift from Owl. This nutcracker plays into Wolf's dreams and ventures with him on a quest to rescue those in the Forbidden Forest. Together, they succeed in defeating the rulers and freeing the animals. I appreciate the push for working together and helping each other. Wolf encourages others to support each other and help everyone grow. I like the ending interactions that offer hints that Wolf's adventure may not have been a dream. The artwork is highly detailed and worth studying over and over. The breadth of actions happening that weave with the main story offer readers a chance to see life fully in this forest home.

Cute book for kids.
Sharing responsibility and coming together as a team to get things done.
Wolf helps the mice workers who are down on their luck how things can be different. Working as a team can be less tiring.

This is the sixth book in the Wolf in Underpants series. This one is a Christmas story about an owl and a forbidden forest.

This was a cute story! It had a lot of humor and it was fun to read. I loved the illustrations as well. It was cute to look at and full of color. I think kids will really enjoy this one, especially around Christmas time!

Thanks so much to netgalley and Lerner Publishing Group for the arc of this book in exchange for an honest review!
