The Wolf in Underpants Breaks Free

Even as an adult, I have always really enjoyed The Wolf in Underpants series and this newest addition is no exception.

When the Wolf in underpants is detained for having three coins without having worked for them, the Wolf Brigade must start an investigation when the other forest animals begin to complain. Person after person share stories of all the ways that the Wolf makes the community a better place, from helping his neighbors fish to keeping sick children happy. Best of all is that the Wolf has always done this without ever asking or accepting payment in return.

As the Brigade comes to see their case getting more and more flimsy, it becomes clear who has been giving the wolf his coins all along.

Full of the same vibrant and busy illustrations of previous titles, this newest addition is wonderful to revisit time and time again. After reading it at least three times to my stepson, he is still finding new and fun things in the background.

Thank you so much to Netgalley and Lerner Publishing Group for the opportunity to read and review this ARC,

The Wolf in Underpants is such a fun story. My littles and I loved the illustrations and all the characters throughout the story. They loved the part in the story where everyone came to the wolfs aid after he breaks free. They all explained that the wolf helped out those in town and was not a lazy pants. Super cute read, the pages are filled with so much it gave us a chance to stop and look through all the pieces.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

This was a delight. I really love it when children's books take the time to formulate a story that is both really fun and that can be a conversation starter of severe issues that I feel children should be aware of. I really don't think that there is anything that you need to hide from your child about the world, you have to explain things in simple ways and let them ask you questions. I really loved how this had elements of "what is justice and is it always fair?" and also a commentary on capitalism and mob mentality but it is absolutely just a fun story for kids too! brilliant.

"The Wolf in Underpants Breaks Free" is a delightful addition to the previous delightful books in this series. The Wolf in Underpants is arrested for being lazy and having coins when the anti-wolf brigade thinks he shouldn't have them since he doesn't have a job. As the wolf tunnels his way out of prison, the anti-wolf brigade investigates his regular activities, which leave them astounded. The story and illustrations are enjoyable, funny, and will leave both kids and adults thinking. Highly recommended for all collections.
