Publisher's Synopsis
Ages 6 to 12 years. Persecution of the wolf in Europe and North America almost led to the extinction of the species in the twentieth century. Today, the beauty and mystique of wolves has created a new wave of support for these animals. Beautiful photographs and informative text help children discover: the life cycle of a wolf; wolf bodies; a pack's need for territory and prey; the dangers of habitat loss; preserves, national parks, and other places where wolves are protected.
