Aron Nels Steinke Books

We love this good-natured graphic novel series!

Brand new teacher Mr Wolf starts his first day at Hazelwood school, teaching a Year 5 class. The fun of animal characters in an instantly familiar classroom setting is an instant appeal, with the warmth of the regular routines of the school day coupled with the funny and surprises that crop up in normal classrooms too. Fans of Pamela Butchart’s Wigglesbottom Primary series will enjoy moving on to these school-based tales next.

These comic-style books are warm and humorous, and an enormous hit with children around 7-10. Primary children looking for graphic novels sometimes need to navigate their choices to avoid books originally aimed at older children (because of the publishing history of the format, which was popular with teens before gradually becoming more accessible to a younger audience, much to our delight!).

We highly recommend Mr Wolf’s Class as a safe, enjoyable and entertaining choice for KS2 children.
