Bookroo's summary

On his first hunt, a young wolf faces an unexpected challenge: honoring his prey's final wishes. Taught by his parents to be courteous, he finds his meals aren't as noble. As he navigates the wild's tricky etiquette, will his good manners lead to surprising outcomes? Discover if politeness can outsmart nature's cunning in this humorous tale.

From the publisher

A hilarious story about why manners matter One morning, a young wolf eagerly sets out on his first hunting trip. But before he can devour his prey, he must honor their final wishes, just as his parents taught him to do. But the wolf’s would-be meals aren’t quite as honorable as he is! Can common courtesy prove effective amidst the wild laws of nature? Perfect for fans of Jon Klassen, this wryly humorous book demonstrates that good manners can bring unexpected results.
