About this product
Product Information
Manny is looking for a job. He sees an ad in the paper "Wolf Wanted," and although a real wolf is wanted, he responds anyway since his surname is "Wolf." Luckily for Manny, so many wolves respond to the ad that a new job has to be created to answer all the letters. He is chosen for the new job because he is such a good writer. And fortunately, he also loves to read and knows many stories, and so he can see through the wolves' letters, with their glowing descriptions of themselves, and discern their true natures. Manny recognizes the different wolves as characters from "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Three Little Pigs" and Aesop's Fables and "Peter and the Wolf," for example. He finally decides that the problem is with the ad itself, which he rewrites, clarifying that a real wolf is wanted so that a documentary can be made to show people what real wolves are like. The book concludes with a non-fiction spread, illustrated with photos, which describes the current predicament of wolves all over the world.

Reviews
Manny was looking for a job. He opened the paper and saw:Wolf WantedA good-looking adult with experience for a responsible position. Well paid. Guaranteed. Send a letter describing expectations and a CV to the jobs wanted address at this newspaper.Manny doubted that wolves could read the paper. Or that they would understand anything about CVs or qualifications... But he did...He knew all about job ads and what the words in them mean. He had been looking for a job for quite a while and had read quite a few of them.Manny was a Wolf but he wasn't a wolf. He was a person. Just like other people whose last names are the same as certain animals - Coyote, Peacock, Lamb - his last name was Wolf, Manny Wolf. So he decided it was worth trying his luck. And he answered the ad, as though this company wanted to hire someone whose name was Wolf., It is rare that a plea for conservation can be embedded so happily, so humorously, in a picture book as well as this one is.
