"One might ask whether there is room for yet another book about wolves. Emphatically, yes—if it isby Gibbons...Lively color illustrations, a mixture of watercolors, pen-and-ink, and colored chalk, follow the wolves on their northern trails throughout the year. This excellent resource for primary-grade students has additional wolf facts, myths, and legends appended."—Booklist
