Intelligent and strong, the wolf is the world's biggest wild dog. It has a keen sense of smell and a vast language of whimpers, barks, growls, and howls. Welcome To The World Of Wolves reveals the wolf from its beginnings as a frolicking pup to its life as a hunter. Children will learn how fast wolves run, what they like to eat, and how they sniff out clues to discover who is near. Young readers will delight in the playful behavior of pups as they chase beavers through rivers and play tug-of-war with sticks. Diane Swanson's vivid description reveal wolves hunting in packs and racing through the forest with impressive speed. Page after colorful page, the wild and enticing world of wolves comes to life in a fascinating combination of pictures and text. -- Midwest Book Review
