He talks with wild creatures and is upset to learn that the world is being badly damaged by what humans are doing. In his home world there are no humans to be seen and the world, or "wild web", is healthy. Mowzl needs Pip to write his story to help him remember where he came from and how to get back, and Pip writes everything that happens. When Mowzl meets two children called Billy and Larky, they find that they can understand the wild talk too, but only when they are with the mouse, because of his magic. They are excited to learn from creatures about the wild web, and they want to do something to help. Billy and Larky soon get their friends involved, and they all listen to the stories that Mowzl tells. Gradually, the mystery of what happened to Mowzl before the fog is revealed.

A hilarious exploration of grumpiness: this is a book for any child who has ever woken up to find everything unreasonably annoying. Today is a terrible day for Wolfie: it's cloudy (there is a single cloud), the water in the bubble bath is ice cold, there aren't enough chocolate chips in the cookies and everyone else is having a nice day (lucky them). No one understands Wolfie at school. But then Penguin comes along... and she does understand. Suddenly things start to get a whole lot better.  This is a story about how when you're feeling misunderstood, sometimes all it takes to change your perspective completely, is a like-minded friend. A wonderful, and relatable story about the loneliness that comes with feeling grumpy and how a friend can give a rain cloud day, a sunny new spin.  Funny for both children and adults alike - while children will delight at the funny dissonance between text and image, the parents will recognise the all too relatable tale of out-of-proportion toddler grumpiness.
