K-Gr 3–The ever-cantankerous and yet thoroughly lovable Lone Wolf is back, and this time he sets out for a peaceful getaway. Lone Wolf is hoping for rest, relaxation, and solitude, but nothing goes according to plan. A quiet bus ride turns into a chaotic sing-along, a solo elevator ride turns into a long encounter with an overly cheery guest, and when he finally reaches his room, someone’s already in his bed. Even the pool, his last refuge, offers no escape from unwanted company. With short, engaging chapters and delightfully funny scenarios, this story builds both humor and tension as Lone Wolf’s hopes for quiet are continuously dashed. Sentence structure starts simple and gradually becomes more complex, supporting growing readers while entertaining them. Word repetition and patterning help build confidence, and the colorful illustrations offer strong visual cues without overwhelming the page. The humor escalates with every page turn, making this book a fun read-aloud and a great tool for encouraging independent reading.
VERDICT A must-have for early reader collections and an excellent continuation of the series.
