The shopkeeper tells him that all the jellybeans have been bought up for prizes in a competition. A Best Pet Competition.. There's only one thing for it: Wolf needs to acquire a darling dog, a cool cat, or a happy horse. But one by one, these animals prove that Wolf is not much of an animal person, either. Will no pet win him an award? How far must Wolf go to get some dang jellybeans?. Move over, Elephant & Piggie! For readers who have had enough of the buddy duos, for kids who'd rather play by themselves - Wolf is the antihero you've been waiting for.
