About this title

Synopsis

It's bedtime, but in the warmth of the den, a young wolf cub cannot sleep. Papa Wolf knows why: the time has come to take his cub out into the dark night. As they walk deeper into the woods, Papa Wolf soothes his young son's fears away. And when they reach the top of the world, he shows how big wolves make the night their own -- and that the cub, too, is now part of the night. Magical watercolor illustrations of the wolves and their forest home are the perfect complement to this enchanting read-aloud story.

Reviews

Grade 1–3—In this coming-of-age story, written as a duet, a wolf cub ventures out from his snug den to accompany his father to the top of the world. As they make their way through the mysterious forest, the pup is disconcerted by the strangeness of the night. In an alternating dialogue, the cub expresses his fears and Papa Wolf reassures his son, calling him Cub-of-Mine. Papa Wolf's voice is printed in bold italics to differentiate it from the youngster's. When they reach Singing Rock, the wolves bask in the luminous moonlight and raise their voices in heartfelt song, claiming the night as their own. The atmospheric, painterly illustrations portray the cub's trepidation as well as the animals' joyous abandon as they sing to the Moon. The initial watercolors are dark and shadowy, contrasting nicely with the later images bathed in soft moonlight. This lovely title could be paired with Jill Newsome's Night Walk (Clarion, 2003).—Linda L. Walkins, Mount Saint Joseph Academy, Brighton, MA
