Bookroo's summary

Rolf, a gentle wolf, lives happily with Mrs. Boggins, who calls him a good little wolf. But when a ferocious wolf challenges his identity, Rolf must prove he's a real wolf by attempting wild tasks, like blowing down a pig's house. As he struggles, the stakes rise when the big bad wolf demands something unthinkable. Can Rolf stand up to the bully and stay true to himself? This tale of courage and identity offers a surprising twist that invites deeper reflection.

From the publisher

Rolf, a small, gentle wolf, lives with Mrs. Boggins, who tells him he is a good little wolf. But when he meets up with a large, ferocious wolf, he is told that he isn’t a real wolf. Wolves aren’t little and good–they are big and bad. To prove he is a real wolf, the old wolf tells Rolf he must perform certain tasks, such as blowing down a little pig’s house. Rolf is a total failure . . . until the big bad wolf urges him to do something unspeakable to old Mrs. Boggins. Then the good little wolf proves that he can stand up to the big bad bully. Or so it seems. More mature readers may find a different ending that could lead to a great discussion! Using familiar storybook characters and an endearing new hero, Nadia Shireen makes her debut in this winning picture book.
