How do you create the ultimate lupine cynic? This early reader series holds the answer, so we're going to grill the creators to see what makes Lone Wolf tick. #kidlit 📚👍 afuse8production.slj.com/2025/06/24/a...

¡Mistaco! by @elizakinkz.bsky.social
Of COURSE this book is hilarious and energetic and goofy but it’s also empathetic and practical and sweet.
It also has, like, the best opening line I’ve read this year, and I want to spoil it for you but I WON’T. Go read it!
