Little Kid Reaction

They LOVED the book, they loved counting the wolves, they loved investigating the pictures for the other animals to be found. My 5-year-old wanted to read it again, on his own (mostly looking at the pictures, as the text would have been too advanced for him to glean information from it).

Parent Reaction

This is one of the most beautiful books I have ever seen. I loved the pictures, a romantic insight into the lives of a wolf pack. I loved that my 3-year-old was able to count the wolves on each page. I loved that my 5-year-old learned the order of the months. And, in future years, he will learn about the life cycle of wolves (pups are born in May in the spring time, and grow as the year progresses). Eventually, we will be reading the post-text info about wolves. This is a book that will truly GROW with a child.
