The Story Starts Here!

About this book

Little Wolf has decided that today things are going to be done differently. It will be a contrarian day. Why? Because he said so! He will stand not sit for dinner and hell start with dessert. Hes going to play the piano with his toes and wear his pants on his head. And when he says The Story Starts Here he means it this book starts at the back and ends at the front. After Little Wolfs parents send him to his room to think about his backwards behavior he decides to run away. But outside everyone is running from a giant shadowy monster. Readers will need to flip the book over to discover the monsters true identity and that hes not so scary after all just a little turned around and out of sorts. This fun engaging story that pokes playfully at conventions will have readers interacting with their book in a new way and help them realize theres more than one way to see the world.
