FROM THE CRITICS

Children's Literature - Dr. Judy Rowen

Each page of text is faced with an intimate photograph of wolf behavior, such as a wolf racing through a stream, pups emerging from their den, or a pack circling a moose. The text reviews the life history of this much-maligned creature, stressing their similarity to more beloved predators such as dogs and lions. As usual, Simon presents his subject in a clear, concise manner.
