Wolves are a lot like people. They are mammals, they live in families, or packs, and they live and hunt in a certain territory, or home. Wolves must have very good hearing and a strong sense of smell to be able to find and hunt for food. Their thick fur helps them to stay warm. From playful pups to powerful wolves, watch these magnificent animals through incredible action photographs as you learn about patient, watchful wolves!

From School Library Journal:

PreS-Gr 2-Using very simple text and clear, full-color photos on every page, these books present basic facts about their respective animals. All feature lots of questions such as "Why do you think rattlesnakes buzz?" or "How is your house like a den?" This interactive approach is designed to spark discussion and should be especially appealing to young listeners. Also, much of the information is put into recognizable concepts for very young children, e.g., a wolf pack is compared to a human family. Older, newly independent readers may find the books lacking in depth, but will appreciate the feeling of mastery over the extremely simple texts. The eye-catching photos nicely complement the writing. However, the one of a rattlesnake giving birth is not for the squeamish. Each book also includes a large, simple line drawing of the animal with its major parts labeled and a map showing its range in the U.S. and Canada. While not essential purchases, these are good starting points for sparking interest in the topics, especially for libraries that serve a large population of younger children.-Arwen Marshall, New York Public Library
