Wolves

The Scholastic Science Readers "TM" series was created espe cially to bring exciting nonfiction to beginning readers. Each book combines easy-to-read text with outstanding photographs to give kids an introduction to a favorite topic. With consultation from a reading specialist and child psychologist, the texts have been clearly leveled to match developing skills. Every book has been carefully reviewed by an expert in the field for scientific accuracy and includes an easy activity that a child can do for further exploration.Outstanding photography brings nature alive in these full-color books. "Take a Look" boxes give kids a special look at the inside of a wolf's den or a close-up of a bat's fur.

In this introduction to these strong, beautiful animals, kids will learn dozens of facts about wolves -- how they hunt, travel in packs, communicate, and care for their pups. Readers will learn how wolves were once seriously endangered in the wild but are slowly reappearing thanks to new laws and programs like the Yellowstone reintroduction.

I think that it was full of great educational content. However, I personally got extremely bored during it, and I know that if I did children would too.

I love books on any level about wolves, but this book is just ok. The pictures are beautiful and the facts are interesting. but there just isn't the continuity I would expect from a Scholastic Science Reader. Children on this level need more of a story line to hold their interest. (The little one that I was reading to was more interested in putting her feet on the pages.) On page 14 the author jumps from pack life and the characteristics of wolves to the Alaskan tundra. Actually pages 12 and 13 don't fit either. From here on the book is just a grouping of what seems like random facts. Ugh. There is a reason why we haven't used many of these books in our home school.

This book contains a plethora of information about wolves, their habitat, habits, and how we as humans play a role in their lives. Throughout the book, certain words are bold and are connected to a glossary in the back of the book. This resource is useful for children who are unsure of words related specifically to wolves. Additionally, this book can be used for students to do a research project about the magnificent animals and how they interact with their environment.

Elementary reading, this book is informative, but has an evolutionary flavor.
