Tired of the stereotypes about wolves in literature, Mr. Nice Wolf attempts to correct them by writing a positive story about wolves. The animals he encounters do not trust Mr. Nice Wolf and when his natural carnivorous nature surfaces, he almost ruins his story. The surprise, open-ended culmination can generate discussion and lead to many independent story-telling opportunities. The book follows a narrative episodic pattern and the text is interesting as it flows in waves across the page and is periodically emphasized with big, bold letters. The colour drawings provide information about animal habitats. The wolf lives in a house with furniture and dresses with a hat, scarf and cane. The other animals tend to be more natural.--Ministry of Education website.
