What is Whiffy Wilson: the wolf who wouldn't go to school about?

Whiffy Wilson is certain that school will be boring, especially as he cannot count to ten, write his name or even hold a pen properly. But when his friend Dotty takes him along, Wilson discovers a busy day filled with painting, messy play, football, stories and making new friends. With encouragement from Dotty and his teacher, he soon realises that getting things wrong is part of learning. By the end of the day, Wilson is having so much fun that he cannot wait to go back.
