You really have to pay attention to the details in the illustrations to get the full humor. Which means that you should probably read this book many times to fully enjoy it. I had a hard time deciding whether this book was lighthearted or dark. It's lighthearted in a childish way, but a wolf in sheep's clothing is a dark theme. Predator vs. prey is dark, but this is a lightened perspective. There is no right answer...

A delightfully, hilarious take on the classic wolf in sheep's clothing story.

Lesson: it's easy to terrorize people you've never met, never talked to, never spent time with. It's much harder to be nasty or commit violence against people you've shared food with, done chores with, played sports with, told stories with, created a genuine connection with. The loss of a sense of community and the seeming increasing silo-ing of groups of people with no substantive interaction between those groups may well be the most dire threat we face as a species. And we could learn a lot from this conniving but ultimately empathetic wolf.
Fortunately, the illustrations and the story are so darn cute, the lesson very nearly fades right into the background. I loved the dynamic illustrative/onomatopoeic storytelling of the scootscootscoot and the nopenopenope.
