Wild, Wild Wolves: (Step into Reading Books Series: A Step 2 Book)
- Book Review,
by Joyce Milton
From School Library Journal
Grade 1-3 --Milton introduces readers to wolf-pack behavior including body language, the raising of pups, and hunting tactics; myths and legends surrounding the animals; and the hunting that almost led to their extinction in the U. S. The book is sympathetic to the return of wolves to appropriate natural habitats. Schwinger's realistic watercolor and pencil illustrations complement the text and provide numerous visual clues for emerging readers. A factual and up-to-date look at Wild, Wild Wolves.-Gale W. Sherman, Pocatello Pub . Lib . , IDCopyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.
From Kirkus Reviews
At ``Step 2'' in the useful ``Step into Reading'' series: an admirably clear, well-balanced presentation that centers on wolves' habits and pack structure. Milton also addresses their endangered status, as well as their place in fantasy, folklore, and the popular imagination. Attractive realistic watercolors on almost every page. Top-notch: concise, but remarkably extensive in its coverage. A real bargain. (Nonfiction/Easy reader. 6-10) -- Copyright ©1992, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
