More About This Book

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
Striking photographs, colorful illustrations, and an interesting layout will keep readers' eyes glued to the pages of this educational book about wolves. When they are finished, readers will come away with a renewed curiosity about this beautiful creature that must be protected to prevent extinction. This book covers wolves' habitats, their status as endangered, what they eat, and how humans are helping wolves. But it does not sugarcoat the existence of wolves, for it also covers the dark side of wolves' lives, which includes being hunted by farmers and hunters who consider them a nuisance or a threat, and use cruel traps to capture them. Readers will also learn the truth about the common misconception that wolves are dangerous to people, when in reality they are more likely to avoid any human contact than to attack. A glossary, index, and list of websites with more wolf information are included. This title is part of the "Earth's Endangered Animal Species" series. 2005, Crabtree Publishing Company, and Ages 7 to 10.

Gr 3-5-These basic introductions offer well-designed and interesting overviews of three endangered animals. Each volume includes information about habitat, behavior, life cycle, communication, and other topics useful for reports. Threats to survival, particularly from habitat loss, and conservation efforts also receive attention. Photographs and diagrams provide additional detail, but there are no maps pinpointing where the animals live. Some overlap of illustrations and content exists with Kalman and Amanda Bishop's The Life Cycle of a Wolf (Crabtree, 2002), and Mary K. Dornhoffer and Robert F. Scherrer's Wolves (Compass Point, 2004) provides similar coverage. Deborah Dennard's Gorillas (NorthWord, 2003) goes into more depth for somewhat older readers while Seymour Simon's Gorillas (HarperCollins, 2000) uses a more narrative approach. Kalman provides helpful resources for those beginning their search for material for reports or to satisfy personal curiosity.-Kathy Piehl, Minnesota State University, Mankato Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
