One of the books that inspired me to become a writer, when I was in the fourth grade.

I've always loved this book.

[Sheryl Depriest]

My favorite childhood book!!!

[Darian - Books With A Chance]

I love how this is written, if you read it to your children it will sound like a fiction story and it is but there’s so many facts about the wolves. You get to learn a little bit about wolves surviving in the wild, almost like you’re also studying them.

[Holly Stone]

A quick, short read to give young and young at heart readers a look into the workings of a Wolf Pack how they help each other survive how they come together and care for one another. And also the dangers the wolves face from both Nature and humans alike.

[April]

The embodiment of a living book. Very highly recommend.
