The Wolf in Underpants at Full Speed
Illustrator: Mayana Itoïz, Paul Cauuet
Binding: Paperback
An Aesop's Fables-style graphic story for the current era, with sharp humor and a lesson about intolerance.
It's race day in the forest—but someone has ruined the posters for the big event! When other animals ask the Wolf to investigate, he discovers a chickadee with a chip on its shoulder. After learning why the little bird feels left out, the Wolf hatches a plan to launch it to victory...A plan that just might involve the Wolf's trademark striped undies. In the third tale of the Wolf in Underpants, Wilfrid Lupano and Mayana Itoiz present another laugh-out-loud lesson in finding common ground.

Reviews
To kids of a certain age, there is nothing funnier than underpants. Kids of such an age should love Wilfrid Lupano and Mayana Itoïz’s Wolf In Underpants books: short, funny, comics/picture book hybrids that star a wolf who wears underpants and, better yet, feature conflicts resolved by the application of underpants. The third book in what is now a trilogy, The Wolf In Underpants at Full Speed, offers the latest, most unexpected use of underpants as a major plot point.
Good Comics for Kids
I had a lot of fun reading this book. The Wolf like everyone else is looking forward to a big event coming up. When someone starts putting graffiti on the posters, the others critters ask him to find who is behind this crime. Once he discovers who is doing it, he decides he wants to help them out. He comes up with a wacky idea, and it will make this race one no one will forget about for years to come. Fans of this series of books will want to check this one out.
