Learn all about these lords of the far north, who have been hunted by man nearly to extinction. With evocative watercolors by Sarah Fox-Davies, Walk with a Wolf is as full of beauty and drama as it is of facts about this mysterious and often maligned creature.

About the Author
Janni Howker observes, "The fact that wolves have been extinct where I live for two hundred years should make me feel safe, but instead it makes me sad. The sound of wolves howling would make winter evenings magical."
Sarah Fox-Davies hopes that WALK WITH A WOLF will help readers understand that "wolves are neither cuddly pets nor the monsters of folklore. They are fellow creatures trying their best to survive and to share this planet, if at all possible, with the rest of us."
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3?"Walk with a wolf" in this handsome pictorial nature story as she joins her family pack. Children follow along as the members of the group stalk an old, lame bull moose and sleep through a Yukon blizzard (with the female dreaming of spring and new pups). Interspersed with the simply written story (set in a large font with ample spacing) are italicized snippets of factual information on lupine behavior. Readers may also derive pleasure from using the brief index to pinpoint areas of interest. The extremely attractive watercolors are realistic and eye-catching, and the illustrator has scrupulously avoided gory depictions (though the text mentions "Drops of his blood...like berries"), leaving to readers' imaginations the grosser aspects of obtaining fresh meat. The slight anthropomorphism of lupine dreams does not detract from the visual beauty of the book, nor from its informative qualities, and it should find an audience among younger readers and listeners who enjoy exploring the natural world. Pair it with Jean Craighead George's attractive Look to the North (HarperCollins, 1997) for an excellent picture of these dramatic predators.?Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY
