Rebecca L. GramboReviews

Large coffee-table style volume has a lot of solid information about wolves. It covers all the basics- pack structure, habitat needs, hunting strategies of wolves and so on. Mostly it is about how humans and wolves have interacted over the centuries, our perception of them shifting over time. . . . A lot of this information wasn’t exactly new to me, but the clear way in which it was all explained made it a very nice read. Many of the tales recounted- legends, mythology and creation stories from different cultures, were ones I hadn’t encountered before. The photographs by Daniel J. Cox are beautiful. There are also lots of quotes and poems about wolves included in the margins, and images of artifacts depicting them, which adds to the richness of this volume.

Easy read for all science loving kids!

Brightly colored photographs of colorful animals with blurbs about them. Pages are a bit busy.

This book will keep your middle school students busy for hours. Actually, it kept my interest for hours as well. The questions are intriquing and the answers are informative, but easy to understand. In addition, the book is filled with great ideas for lessons in all areas. I honestly can't think of an audience I wouldn't recommend this book to.

With fantastic photos and enlightening and inspirational prose, Wolf is an excellent addition to an library.

Grambo provides some great insights into the wolf lore of Native American and pre-Christian European cultures, as well as a look at the demonization of the wolf at the hands of Christianity and settled herding people. In addition, she provides excellent scientific and political/activist information to aid in the understanding of these magnificent animals and how we can help protect them.

The photography, mostly by Daniel Cox, is phenomenal. Wolves are captured in all seasons, at all stages of life, and in a myriad of poses. The images alone make this book a great buy!

This book gives short looks into the lives of different animal families. They show many pictures of the animal babies before they're born or immediately after. Genre: informational because there is strictly information given with no elaboration. Setting: Each home of an animal family, so the setting differs throughout the book. The setting does not play an integral part in the book. Media: photographs

This book has some interesting facts and text about this animal but mostly the book has some wonderful photography. It is definitely a coffee book type volume.
