# Lone Wolf Gets a Pet - Hardcover

by **Kiah Thomas** (Author), **K-Fai Steele** (Illustrator)

**Oscar the Grouch meets Frog & Toad in this hilarious illustrated early reader series about a cranky wolf on a quest to be left alone.**

Wolf lives by himself, and he likes it that way. Wolf is not a people person.

But today, he would really like some jellybeans, and the store is completely out. The shopkeeper tells him that all the jellybeans have been bought up for prizes in a competition. A Best Pet Competition.

There's only one thing for it: Wolf needs to acquire a darling dog, a cool cat, or a happy horse. But one by one, these animals prove that Wolf is not much of an animal person, either. Will no pet win him an award? How far must Wolf go to get some dang jellybeans?

Move over, Elephant & Piggie! For readers who have had enough of the buddy duos, for kids who'd rather play by themselves--Wolf is the antihero you've been waiting for. _Lone Wolf Gets a Pet_ is the second in a hilarious early reader series starring the completely lovable, chronically grumpy Wolf, a character who affirms kids who fly solo better than with friends.

Kids who are beginning to read on their own won't be able to get enough of Kiah Thomas's sarcastic stories, perfect whether read alone or out loud, and K-Fai Steele's laugh-out-loud illustrations will give any kid, no matter their reading level, a new favorite series.
