This story describes some of the fun and challenges Mr. Wolf and his friends have on Animal Island. Mr. Wolf is the town's home inspector and is currently being blamed by the pigs for their houses falling down. As he explains that houses should not be made of sticks and hay, he tells his friends what really happened. Mr. Wolf is not perfect and accepts that he is partly to blame. At the end of the story, he is thankful for the pigs helping him find a new friend and for giving him some good advice. The Stories in the Well-Mannered Wolf Series promote positive messages and are designed to encourage good behavior by expressing suggestions in a light-hearted style. The text is color-coded (when the animals are talking) to help nudge the kids to take a part in the story.
