This informational narrative presents facts and information about wolves in the story of three wolf pups: Boulder, Scree, and Tallus. Wolves are born blind and deaf. They open their eyes at 10 days old and begin hearing at three weeks.

We just received this in the mail today, and have read it 3 times. My 8-yr-old has carried it around with him all day, even taking it to Cub Scouts tonight.
Each 2 page spread has a lovely illustration of the pups (or parents) with some general information of what is happening in their development. It's told in story format, giving names to the 3 little wolves. It's sweet, gentle and informative. And my reluctant reader is poring over it....so I love it!

This author is brilliant and we have since read more of her works, but this book started it all. The illustrations are majestic and extremely detailed. This story book follows 3 pups for almost their first year of life. I particularly appreciated how the development of wolf pups was related other noticeable events, for example, "When the crickets are chirping, look to the north. Wolf pups are learning adult wolf talk.
I got this at a young age and just felll in love with it.
