My six year old daughter loves animals, especially wild ones. She has been fascinated with Alaska and with wolves for some time now, although (or perhaps because) we live in a large city. She wasn't initially attracted to this book because it isn't very beautiful, but she was captivated by the accounts of real wolves in their natural surroundings. There are many books that relate the nasty side of wolves, and there are some that attempt to undo the damage of the myths of fear; but to read about how wolves really live (and to acknowledge their mystery) is the best for my young wildlife lover.
We kept checking this out from the library and finally she said 'Mom, can we just buy it...." She loves how the story line and the realistic pictures show her the facts about wolves. She likes that some of the words are hard, but not too hard, so she can read it by herself.
I thought I was getting a scientific book about wolves, and this has a page or two dedicated to werewolves. What the heck? Now my kid keeps asking me about werewolves. Totally unnecessary.
Our 6 year old really likes this style of books and I love that he is learning facts bout the animals. This one is probably the best of the group in my opinion.
Great book for second graders. My grandson loved this book. It is entertaining and educational.
I have a soft spot in my heart for the Wolves, and all other Wildlife. This story puts into perspective the wolves and how they survive, of course in human terms. The Wolf population has been an ongoing battle for many years, but they are a necessary part of out ecosystem. But to read this book brings compassion to my mind.
Very interesting book for my child! Wolves are always a favorite topic of ours. Good points covered in the books - using science and facts to kvercome ignorance and fear. :)
Again, I love these books. We have several of them and I've not been upset w/ any of them. Very informative and right on target for my kids' reading level. Great choice!
