Wolves

by R.D. Lawrence

The wolf has long fascinated us as a symbol of wilderness and mystery. This handsome volume for young readers reveals this highly intelligent but greatly misunderstood animal as it is rarely seen--at play, on the hunt, and in tender family relationships.

Very cute wolf book!

[Barbara · Rating 2 out of 5]

I found this book a few months ago in my closet; I must have gotten it as a gift when I was a kid. It's an old (slightly out of date, I think, on a few points) very simple wolf book, and many of the pictures will be very familiar to people who have read a few wolf books (like Mech's Arctic wolf photos.) But it's written by R. D. Lawrence, so I'm very happy to have it.
