Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In this Plains Indian tale, Young Tiblo and his little sister Tanksi lose their way in the hills and, as darkness falls, they find refuge in a cave. That night Tiblo dreams that a wolf appears to watch over them. When he awakens, the dream comes true, and the wolf guides the two children home. Goble's straightforward text evokes rich emotions: showing how and why Plains Indians revered the wolf, the story becomes a heartfelt plea for the preservation of wild wolves. Dream Wolf is filled with glowing imagery--the illustrations showing nightfall, the children's search for shelter and the wolf's first, dreamlike appearance are particularly riveting. Once again, Goble has captured the lives and legends of this tribe in a magnificent picture book. All ages.

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 4-- New text, jacket, and rich reproduction of the color art mark this revised edition of The Friendly Wolf (Bradbury, 1974; o.p.). The basic story remains the same: two young Plains Indian children get lost while berry-picking, and are protected and led home by a wolf which is then honored by the children's people. Goble has made the wolf in this version less terrifying to the children in keeping with his more overt message about modern treatment of wolves by human beings. His ending assumes the wolves' absence until "we . . . have the wolves in our hearts and dreams again." This mild didacticism does not add to the tale, nor, unfortunately, does the rewritten text. While some of the language has been improved, much of the story's flow is lost to a string of declaratives; it smacks of easy readerizing, and the truncation of the original is often awkward and confusing. This is particularly disappointing because the new illustrations and print layout are so much more appealing: this effort could have been a real knockout. Illustrations that were slightly murky and muddy now appear brilliant and distinct, vividly showing off Goble's trademark style--thin white space outlining the stylized figures in glorious traditional Plains Indian garb. Good "good wolf" stories are hard to come by, and offer a discussion-rich (not to mention politically correct) contrast to the abundance of good "bad wolf" tales out there; this will be a useful addition to the former, but it is not something worth howling about. -- Nancy Palmer, The Little School, Bellevue, WA

5.0 out of 5 stars Dream Wolf symbolizes trust, hope, August 23, 2001
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Another Native American tale I adore. The brillant rich drawings speak when the words do not. A story of two children who place their trust into a wolf who leads them back to their home and how the wolf is honored for doing so. It is still hopeful that someday we will capture that which has been lost to us. The love of the land and honoring the animals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ethereal and Hypnotic Effect, June 17, 2006
By 
The images in this book have an ethereal and hypnotic affect depicting the reverence to nature the wolf held to the Native Americans. As two Native American children become lost and take shelter in a cave a protective wolf appears in a dream and upon awakening the wolf fulfills the dream. This allegorical tale of the beauty and wonderment that the nurturing spirit of the wolf represents is poetically told in inedible images in this wonderful book. The wolf is one with land and should never be ravaged or exploited but revered as part of the wonderment and beauty that is nature.
