The shape of it

The shape of this universe.

Mr. Wolf's Class is Aron Nels Steinke's warm, true-to-life graphic-novel series about a fourth-grade class of animal kids and their kind teacher, Mr. Wolf. A former elementary teacher himself, Steinke renders the small dramas of the classroom exactly as they feel to a child: friendships made and tested, feelings hurt and mended, a missing pet, a school trip, a snow day, a nervous new student. Told in bright, gentle full-colour comics with a large, effortlessly diverse ensemble, the books give every child their own inner life and never reach for high stakes. Published by Scholastic's Graphix imprint, it is a low-peril, big-hearted companion for children navigating school life themselves, and one of the friendliest entry points into graphic novels for newly independent readers.
