But when Gabrial causes an accident that results in a baby dragon going missing, he’ll have to prove himself worthy of remaining with the Wearle at all.

Rules of the Wild - An Unruly...

Bridget Levin

Animals’ rules of etiquette prove quite different from people’s in this “appealing [and] humorous” picture book (Kirkus Reviews).   Playing in the dirt, staying up all night, and leaving clothes strewn across the floor are not a problem if you’re a wild animal. Dunking food, burping, and splashing—no problem either. Human kids, who are expected to follow rules, rules, rules, will squeal with delight as the pages reveal wild animals getting away with all kinds of outlandish behavior—and will relish “knowing better”!   “This clever, well-executed book will grab children’s attention and make them laugh . . . A charmer [and] a great read-aloud.” —School Library Journal   “Young readers tired of obeying rules may find this silly walk on the wild side of animal behavior just impudent enough to suit their fancy.” —Publishers Weekly   “A witty look at breaking away from rules for a while, with a nod to reality in the end.” —Atlanta Parent (Staff Pick)
