You'll see how the pages are laid out, full-page illustrations with dialogue on each page.We open the book and see a wolf silhouetted on the first page, his eyes glowing with just a little bit of menace. To see a sample of how the illustrations and text work together, click the orange link below and click the 'Look Inside' graphic over the book cover. Here’s a book with lots of illustrations and offbeat humor. It’s a fun, quick story, and there’s a promise of many more in the series.
