Branding together fresh, distinctive animal stories with tons of kid appeal
Lobo is a tiny Chihuahua with a big dream—to join a wolf pack. When Lobo's owner takes her pets on vacation to Yellowstone National Park, Lobo thinks he'll finally have the opportunity to find his wolf-brothers. But he doesn't count on a strict park rule that will keep him on a leash! With the help of his endearingly quirky family—a smart Spanish-speaking parrot named Glory and a wisecracking white rat named Heckles—Lobo finally slips his leash and gets a chance to run with the wolves. But is the wild really where a feisty little five-pound pup belongs?
"Kurtz serves up a light and entertaining novel, based on a premise that is probably true: yappy little dogs really do think that they are channeling their wolf ancestors. Francis’ frequent drawings extend the action and fun."—Booklist
"Funny and engaging. Children will love this humorous story and empathize with feisty, misguided Lobo as he realizes the error of his ways. This story will appeal to beginning chapter book and reluctant readers alike."—School Library Journal
