Wolves ANNOTATION
Text and photographs present the physical characteristics, habits, and natural environment of various species of wolves.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Wolves are much more than big and bad.
Did you know that wolves...
are like dogs: they are loyal, affectionate, and highly intelligent. live in packs - or families - led by the strongest female and male. are friendly with one another: they play games, bring food to one another, and baby-sit one another's cubs.
Here's the real story about this animal of myth and legend, the wolf.
FROM THE CRITICS
Children's Literature - Dr. Judy Rowen
Each page of text is faced with an intimate photograph of wolf behavior, such as a wolf racing through a stream, pups emerging from their den, or a pack circling a moose. The text reviews the life history of this much-maligned creature, stressing their similarity to more beloved predators such as dogs and lions. As usual, Simon presents his subject in a clear, concise manner.
Children's Literature - Beverly Kobrin
The riveting cover portraits on Seymour Simon's Wolves guarantees that it will not sit on the shelf. The equally compelling content will keep it a long time on the lap. Mr. Simon's photoessay, one of his best, alternates full-page pictures with narrative on the unjustifiably-maligned wolf's physical and social characteristics, its hunting strategies and pup rearing practices. Pair it with Mr. London's The Eyes of Gray Wolf, a sparely worded tale that traces the winter night's progress of a solitary male as it roams the frozen north's forests and ridges in search of food and a mate.
