This is a wonderful introduction for children to the life and world of the wolf.  Wolves have been around for hundreds of years.  They are also behind most breeds of dogs today which have been bred to be domesticated (tame) and social with humans.  Many dogs today may resemble wolves, i.e., German Shepherds, and many northern breeds like Alaskan Malamute, Eskimo Dog, and Northern Inuit Dog, to name just a few.  But wolves are wild and can be very dangerous if confronted in the woods or mountains.  They have 42 teeth and strong jaws and hunt small game like rabbits and squirrels; but they also hunt in packs to take down larger animals like deer and sheep.  Yes, sheep!  And that's why wolves are endangered today because ranchers are quick to protect their flocks and herds from roaming wolves.  Wolves are very loyal to their packs, like family brothers and sisters.  Emma Child does a great job producing children-friendly guides of all animals in our world.  Children will love this wolf guide with many fun facts throughout the pages.  Very educational.  A must for creating a great library for children.
