The Dog Who Cried Wolf PB

Moka is a good dog. But when Michelle, his little girl, reads him a book about wolves, being a good dog suddenly seems awfully boring. Wolves get to run around doing whatever they want. No one ever makes a wolf dress up for a tea party. So Moka decides to run away to the wild. But what will happen when the real wolves show up?

Moka sueña con la libertar de los lobos y decide huir para convertirse en uno. Pero pronto descubre que no tiene las habilidades necesarias para sobrevivir entre los animales salvajes y entiende las consecuencias de pretender ser algo que en realidad no es.
