People are panicking. The police are afraid. The army have run away. Who or what could possibly be so scary? It’s Wolf Man. And he’s on the loose.

Wolf Man IS scary. He’s all wild eyes and gangly, hairy limbs bursting out of too small clothes. And, I should mention his razor like claws so sharp there are three jagged tears in the front cover.

''Wolfman'' is a picture book with all the elements of an accomplished short story. There's humour in the illustrations and the telling. There are splendid characters whose traits are swiftly, yet convincingly painted. To round it all off there is a surprise ending. On first read I was struck by what a good choice this would be for early readers. A little further investigation, prompted by a cover sticker, revealed an extra facet to this publication. It is designed to be dyslexia friendly. There is a clear font and the text layout avoids any of the clever tricks that seem to pepper so many children's publications. Words that vary in size, font style and positioning in relation to graphics, are imaginative but off putting to beginner readers, dyslexics and those with reading difficulties.

''Wolfman'' is in no way a worthy book aimed at a niche market. The story could carry it alone. This is no surprise as the author is the illustrious Michael Rosen of ''We’re Going on a Bear Hunt'' fame. Pair his story telling skill with some splendidly scary illustrations by Chris Mould and ''Wolfman'' is a winner. And that is nothing to be afraid of.

To experience more animal magic from Michael Rosen, try [[The Bear in the Cave by Michael Rosen and Adrian Reynolds]]
