Manny is looking for a job. He sees an ad in the paper "Wolf Wanted," and although a real wolf is wanted, he responds anyway since his surname is "Wolf." Luckily for Manny, so many wolves respond to the ad that a new job has to be created to answer all the letters. He is chosen for the new job because he is such a good writer. And fortunately, he also loves to read and knows many stories, and so he can see through the wolves' letters, with their glowing descriptions of themselves, and discern their true natures.
Manny recognizes the different wolves as characters from "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Three Little Pigs" and Aesop's Fables and "Peter and the Wolf," for example. He finally decides that the problem is with the ad itself, which he rewrites, clarifying that a real wolf is wanted so that a documentary can be made to show people what real wolves are like. The book concludes with a non-fiction spread, illustrated with photos, which describes the current predicament of wolves all over the world.
