missprint_ 's review for:
Lone Wolf
by Sarah Kurpiel
Maple loves being the Parker's dog. She plays tug of war with Jax, reads on the couch with Avery, gets treats from Mom, and tricks Dad into taking her for long walks. But everyone in the neighborhood keeps asking if Maple is a wolf. Her family explains that Huskies are very different from wolves, but soon even Maple wonders if she might be a wolf. When Maple tries to go into the woods like a real wolf, she soon discovers that being a wild wolf is no joke and nowhere near as fun as hanging out with her own pack--right where she belongs.
Kurpiel's artwork is really fun with a cartoony look. The page design is used really well with a surprise ultra closeup of Maple's face on a two page spread, a map of Maple's neighborhood, and even a chart about wolves vs huskies which make reading this book a full experience.
The artwork thoughtfully adds to the story and reflects a neighborhood that is inclusive and diverse, filled with a variety of people of all ages and skintones. Avery uses an electric wheelchair. (The endpapers feature dogs of every variety too.)
