Children's Literature

In this Level 2, nonfiction book from the "All Aboard Reading" series, we follow the activities and experiences of a baby wolf and her family during her first year. The informative, conversational text is simple, but it does not suffer from its controlled vocabulary. Evocative watercolors, depicting the wolves in their north woods island habitat, add to the book's appeal and usefulness.
