Little Wolf's Book of Badness Award-winning author by Ian Whybrow (author) (UK edition)

“Dear Mum and Dad, Please please PLEEEEZ let me come home. You just think I am a goody-goody, I bet. Is that the reason why I have to go away for badness lessons? I only cleaned my teeth last week for a joke. And brushing my fur, and going to bed early, that was just tricks to trick you!”

Little Wolf doesn’t want to go away to learn the golden rules of badness! All he wants to do is stay at home with Mum, Dad and his baby brother Smellybreff. But now he’s being packed off to Cunning College to earn his Gold BAD Badge – and like it or not, Little Wolf will have to be bad! Huffing and puffing loudly, saying rude words and telling naughty fibs isn’t so hard to do. But when it comes to being truly, truly terrible, how will Little Wolf make the grade? Little Wolf’s struggles to adjust in the big bad world are detailed in the hysterical letters he sends home in this wickedly funny modern classic, which won a U.K.R.A. award for making an oustanding contribution to children’s literacy.

Ian Whybrow

Ian Whybrow is the best-selling author of over 100 children’s books, and is best known for his much-loved Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs books. He is now published in 27 languages in 28 countries!

Before he took up writing full time, Ian spent most of his working life in secondary education, mostly as Head of English and Drama and later as Head of Sixth Form.

Ian’s books are full of inventive and original humour and always writes with adult readers as well as youngsters in mind. “I loved being read to as a child,” he says. “And I loved the sense that my mother and father were enjoying themselves too. For me, that’s the acid test for any good book -that there’s something in it for everyone to enjoy.’

Apart from his wife and daughters, his passions – in no particular order – are: Herefordshire, where he retreats to write in a deeply rural Victorian villa; digging; walking with friends; swimming; cycling (especially in France); the poet Stevie Smith; the theatre; books, films and hedgehogs.
