A few years ago, my wife and I visited the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center just outside Yellowstone National Park. As great as it was to see grizzly bears up close, the wolf exhibits were what intrigued us the most, and it was really fun observing the two wolf packs they had on the property.  Emma Child's book has filled in most of the gaps in what we learned about wolves that day. She covers the basic information about these fascinating animals, including where wolves can be found in the world, how they hunt, what their diet consists of (surprisingly, they're not just meat-eaters), how wolves communicate with each other, and what life in a wolf pack is like. The book describes six different species of wolves, noting that some of these species are endangered. The book concludes with some fun facts about wolves. With its excellent color photography, the book is a good basic introduction to wolves for grown-ups as well as children.
