Description
On the first day of school, one wild little boy learns how to fit in--and how to stand out! "Be yourself," Steve's mom tells him on the first day of school, and he knows just what to do. After all, Steve is a human raised by wolves, and wolves are great at howling in class, shredding homework, and pouncing on new friends! Trying to fit in does NOT go well--until the class pet goes missing and Steve gets a chance to show everyone what wolves do best.

ReviewsA clever reversal story with an uplifting resolution. --Booklist Children will get a kick out of Steve's antics, such as giving everyone fleas, drinking from the toilet, and eating questionable food for lunch. A great storytime book.--School Library Journal Generates quite a few laughs.... Steve's wolflike behavior will have children giggling.... The story's message of the need to balance individuality with group expectations is neatly presented.--Kirkus Reviews What happens when a boy who was raised by wolves goes to school? A lot of silliness, thanks to Jared Chapman's newest offering.... Young readers looking for a good laugh will enjoy this read.--School Library Connection
