Each book includes an easy activity that a child can do for further exploration.
Scholastic Science Readers: Wolves is the perfect introduction to these strong, beautiful animals. Kids will learn dozens of facts about wolves, how they hunt, travel in packs, communicate, and care for their pups. Readers will learn how wolves were once seriously endangered in the wild but are slowly reappearing thanks to new laws and programs like the Yellowstone reintroduction.
