Kindergarten-Grade 3-- With the threat of snow in the air, a wolf pack follows a herd of caribou to its winter feeding ground. The promise of the hunt is interrupted by the sudden arrival by air of illegal hunters (whether for wolf or caribou is unclear). In the confusion that follows, a young wolf is cut off from his pack, hurts his leg, but escapes. His subsequent journey takes him through dangerous territory as he meets a strange wolf pack, tangles with sled dogs, and finally reunites with his own pack. The exquisite ice-blue pages portray the majestic arctic wilderness in a wintry, snowy, half-light. Weatherby's animals spring to life, and he adeptly captures the movement, the stillness, the danger, and the calm of the text. Like Yoshida's Young Lions (Philomel, 1989) , this should help generate appreciation for animals in the wild, and is also concerned with issues of separation and connection. An afterword provides additional information about wolves. --Leda Schubert, Vermont Department of Education, Montpelier
