The Dog Who Cried Wolf by Keiko Kasza

Used with students in Kthrough3rd in preparation for an author visit with Keiko Kasza. All students loved being able to howl like a wolf & predict what Moka would do next. Lots of snickering when we read that Moka gets to pee where he wants to when he's out in the wild but then he gets to do lots of other things too.
A sure winner!
