Changes

''Wolfman'' is a picture book with all the elements of an accomplished short story. There's humour in the illustrations and the telling. There are splendid characters whose traits are swiftly, yet convincingly painted. To round it all off there is a surprise ending. On first read I was struck by what a good choice this would be for early readers. A little further investigation, prompted by a cover sticker, revealed an extra facet to this publication. It is designed to be dyslexia friendly. There is a clear font and the text layout avoids any of the clever tricks that seem to pepper so many children's publications. Words that vary in size, font style and positioning in relation to graphics, are imaginative but off putting to beginner readers, dyslexics and those with reading difficulties. And the great thing is that for parents with dyslexia this book is a great help in allowing them to read to their children.
