This informative and educational book covers many accurate facts regarding the Wolf.

It is divided into different aspects of the animal and it's life:

I found the book to be very comprehensive. A lot of people think the wolf is our dire enemy but after reading about him I think your attitude towards wolves in general will certainly soften. They live in packs, we call ours communities. They too raise families and are very good parents. They are predators because that is how they survive and are really shy around people and would rather not have an encounter of the human kind.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book and would recommend it especially for a classroom setting or school library. This is the second book in this series that bring wild animals into your living room to study. Perfect for nature lovers of all ages.

This is the second book in the "Animals in the Wild" series. This is a good non-fiction book for young children to learn about wolves. The book uses short sections with points, facts and illustrations to share knowledge about wolves. From their birth, what they eat, what they do, family life, what they look like, predators etc. you learn facts, see little anecdotes and view visually pleasing detailed illustrations. This is a fun little book to introduce young readers to wildlife and encourage them to find out more about wolves and other animals in their family (i.e. dogs, coyotes, foxes etcetera). The back of the book includes brief facts as well as a glossary of terms used in the book. This is a great book for school libraries as well as late primary and early junior classrooms. It gives just enough information for children beginning to learn about different species and to wet their appetite for further research.

Absolutely stunning illustrations and well-designed layout, organized by topic. Wolf habitats, how they care for their young, pack dynamics, canine relatives, protection, what they eat, and more. It's all here. There's a typo in the beginning of the book, which we presume the publisher will correct before publication. Wolves may eat plants, but not "pants." Nevertheless, a well-deserved five-star rating!
