Gr. 2-4. One might ask whether there is room for yet another book about wolves. Emphatically, yes--if it is by Gibbons. Using her effective format of large color drawings and a text packed with nuggets of information, the author explores the life of the gray wolf (or timber wolf). She discusses its habitat (which has been greatly decreased over the last several centuries), appearance, hunting, diet, communication systems, social order, reproduction, and relationships with humans. Readers learn that the alpha female is the sole mother in a pack, producing as many as 14 pups. The many kinds of sounds that come from wolves' mouths are not the only means of communication--the placement of their ears and the position of their tails say a lot as well. Lively color illustrations, a mixture of watercolors, pen-and-ink, and colored chalk, follow the wolves on their northern trails throughout the year. This excellent resource for primary-grade students has additional wolf facts, myths, and legends appended. Deborah Abbott
