About this book

On his way home one moonlit night, a strange thing happens to Oliver James — he unexpectedly turns into a werewolf! He can't believe it, it's so . . . AMAZING.

Suddenly, he can run super-fast, leap super-high, and lift trucks with his super-strength! But even werewolves need to be home in time for dinner and Oliver James races to make it back. There's only one problem: what on earth will his parents say when they see him?

Reviews

Praise for Hello, Mr. Dodo!:
"The story is altogether charming, and the pacing and comedic timing are spot-on. What's more, Frith's playful, vibrant illustrations are enormously appealing . . . Well suited for reading aloud, this bright, cheerful book is a winning choice for any picture book collection." -- School Library Journal
"Frith paints with splashy tropical hues to create lush and energetic illustrations. The playful story and expressive artwork meld into a sweet tale of friendship, with just the right amount of whimsy." -- Booklist

Praise for Hector and the Hummingbird:
"A terrific debut." -- PW
"Marvelous screen-print-style illustration . . . Readers will connect with Hector's frustration over being pestered, and [be] won over by Hummingbird's enthusiastic take on friendship." -- Booklist
"Visually stunning work . . . The tale is simple and universal, the setting is fresh, and it all works. Lovely." -- Kirkus
