From Booklist:

Gr. 2-3. Chip is the new pig in class, and he can't help but notice that Fitch, an only child who lives with his granny, is the only wolf. Is Fitch is a werewolf or a big bad wolf? After Chip happens to see Fitch sitting alone in the lunchroom, he decides Fitch is a lone wolf. Chip, who has two bigger brothers and three smaller sisters, bonds with Fitch over sharing and siblings. Pig and wolf are pleasantly anthropomorphized, and the other "kids" include cats and bunnies. The beginning of a beautiful friendship and the joys of discovering differences and similarities are chronicled sweetly and simply. GraceAnne DeCandido
