This book is really good! Freddy Lupin is so excited to be able to have his first transwolfation but instead of transwolfing he transdogs into a poodle. It's funny! It's a genius idea to make him be a poodle and a wolf. Then his mean cousins Chariot and Hariot dye him pink and shave some of his fur off.

I like this book because his parents were able to survive the silver bullet shot by Dr. Cripp, so it wasn't too sad. My favorite part is when Freddy meets Batty because it's an interesting way of meeting. Harriet and Chariet were very very mean! I feel sorry for Pam when her shop was destroyed.

I recommend this book for readers that don't get super scared super easily. It's not extremely scary, but had some creep up the spine parts. And for readers who like funny books/comedy.

I bought this book on a whim for my almost eight year old, who's kind of sick of the normal fare for his age group. He loves Freddie Lupin, actually reads some of this on his own for the first time! The humor is wonderful and I enjoied it as well so reading time doesn't equal torture right now to the tune of, "Mom, has it been twenty minutes yet?"

Great coming of age story for any age!

The funniest thing about this book is the premise, apparent from its attractive front cover, of a werewolf who turns into a little pink poodle instead. As for the rest of it, well, this is a decent fast-paced kid adventure, not terribly funny, and crammed full of far too much gratuitous bathroom humor. The prose is not especially good. Note that the writing also contains many Britishisms (the author is Australian), but these will not distract most readers. So, not as funny as I hoped, but it's a quick read that will certainly amuse some kids in grades 3-4.
