This book is about Homer, a google-eyed middle size houndish-looking canine, who wants to go to Wolf Camp, a place where every dog can live as a wolf for an entire week. Can you imagine that?
A sleep away camp for dogs. After pestering to go the mutt is given permission. On his arrival he is introduced to the counselors, enormous, sharp-nosed, shaggy wolves named Fang and Grrr. The drawings here conveys the dogs campers inner feelings. From getting to know you butt sniffs to their expressive eyes as they receive their commands. Fang’s safety talk speech bubble is so extensive that the text comes off the page. Homer, like any child in a new situation, slowly warms up to the golden retriever, Rex and the tiny gray Chihuahua Pixie, the fellow campers forming a pack that learns to hunt, howl and sleep outside like real wolves. Homer has a rough start, writing a letter to come home saying that the food is yucky and has hair on it and the bugs are gross. When it is time to leave, the tears flow. The readers witness Homer’s return to domesticated life, as the dog curls up on a comfy round bed under a blue electric blanket. Homer is not an unchanged dog, but an honorary wolf with a certificate and a howl to prove it.
