Wally the Werewolf has an unusual secret - on full moons, he grows wool instead of fur! Worried about not being scary enough for Halloween, Wally comes up with a creative solution: hosting a 'Spooky Sweater Party'. When he transforms into a woolly werewolf under the full moon, the trick-or-treaters are delighted by his cozy appearance. Wally's night is filled with warm hugs and candy distribution, making him the town's favorite cuddly Halloween mascot. This charming story explores themes of self-acceptance, creativity, and finding joy in one's uniqueness. The tale's warm humor and unexpected twist provide an engaging reading experience while teaching valuable lessons about embracing individual differences. It's an excellent resource for helping students identify and describe characters, settings, and major events in a story, as outlined in CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.3, while also promoting discussions about self-esteem and creativity.
