A pampered suburban pooch tries to get back in touch with his inner wolf in what is basically a brief retelling of City Slickers. Amusing ("It's got hair on it!"), with art that borders on the ugly but serves well enough. ( ) Such a cute book sharing a bit of the dreams and aspirations of even the tiniest of fur babies among us. The illustrations are great, the story is inspiring (and realistic much to chagrin of the pups!), and the end message of we can be anything we want to be if only we have the heart is a great reminder for all. Having always felt a little wolfish, Homer the dog manages to convince his humans to send him to Wolf Camp for the week in this hilarious picture-book, discovering that life in the wild isn't everything he'd expected. But although he misses his comfortable bed, safe home, and tasty (hairless) food, Homer eventually finds his wolfish rhythm, and has a great time. He returns home a slightly changed canine, one more in touch with his inner wolf... With a tale that will have readers chuckling, and immensely droll illustrations that greatly add to the humor, Wolf Camp is an auspicious debut for first-time author/illustrator Andrea Zuill. I enjoyed Homer's story, and greatly appreciated the artwork, particularly the scenes in which our canine hero attempts to convince his humans to send him to camp - he follows them everywhere (even to the bathtub!) with the advertisement for Wolf Camp - as well as that in which he and his camp-mates get their orientation talk. The list of dangers enumerated by the wolf-counselor has all three dogs wide-eyed! Recommended to younger children who love dogs and/or appreciate humorous stories. no reviews | add a review
