About this book
There was a wolf called Wilson
Who couldn’t count to ten
He wouldn’t learn to write his name
He never used a pen!
When he finds his friend Dotty is off to school, Whiffy Wilson says he’d rather watch television and stay up late! Yikes!
Luckily Dotty takes him in hand and marches him off to school, calming his worries and taking him through the school day. Of course Whiffy Wilson has a GREAT time and makes lots of new friends too.
Young children will quickly relate to Whiffy Wilson’s worries about starting school. Great for preparing your little ones for starting or returning to the classroom.
