What roles do those leaders play in the pack's day-to-day life?
Make up a story about the little black male wolf in Growing Up Wild: Wolves. Tell about him becoming an active part of the pack. You could have him become the Alpha male. How might that happen?

Growing Up Wild Wolves
Growing Up Wild Wolves (Atheneum) is a Non-fiction picture book totally illustrated by real photos. It's a FUN way to be right there with a wolf pack, watching wolf pups grow up.
I have always been fascinated by wolves. I've been lucky enough to see wolves in the wild. I was WOWed!
Wolves are definitely not dogs--not pets. They are smart, hard-working masters of their world. And a wolf pack is a family that both works together, follow its leaders, and has its family squabbles.

SHARE THIRSTY, THIRSTY ELEPHANTS WITH ME!
I want to share my picture book THIRSTY, THIRSTY ELEPHANTS (Charlesbridge)with you!
It's a GREAT true story. But, instead of reading it to you, I'm going to tell you the story. Afterall, before a picture book has pictures it's only words.
And you are about to have a VERY special job. You are now the illustrator--that means it's up to you to draw the pictures the words make you see in your mind.
Here's the story...
But I couldn't leave without showing you this....

WHAT IF YOU HAD A SCIENCE MAGIC SURPRISE!
I know you've been having WHAT IF YOU HAD!? Fun Reading. Now WHAT IF YOU HAD A SCIENCE MAGIC SURPRISE!?
You'll need:
1 package of dry yeast
1 tsp of sugar
1/4 cup of warm (not hot) topwater
1 empty plastic bottle
1 balloon with a neck you can stretch over the balloon
What you need to do:
Now, open the package of yeast and pour it into the bottle. Add the sugar and the warm water. Then top the bottle with the balloon.
WAIT FOR IT! In less than a minute, the balloon will begin to blow up. Shake the bottle gently to speed up the action.
WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?
The yeast is a plant. Once it has water and a little food (sugar), it starts to grow.
As the yeast grows it produces carbon dioxide gas (the same gas you give off when you breathe out).
The bottle may have looked empty when you started but it was really full of air. That air was trapped when you sealed the top of the bottle with the balloon.
So as extra gas floods into the bottle from the growing yeast, it pushes the air up and into the balloon.
SURPRISE!! A plant blew up your balloon!
