Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 1-3 --Milton introduces readers to wolf-pack behavior including body language, the raising of pups, and hunting tactics; myths and legends surrounding the animals; and the hunting that almost led to their extinction in the U. S. The book is sympathetic to the return of wolves to appropriate natural habitats. Schwinger's realistic watercolor and pencil illustrations complement the text and provide numerous visual clues for emerging readers. A factual and up-to-date look at Wild, Wild Wolves.

From Kirkus Reviews
At ``Step 2'' in the useful ``Step into Reading'' series: an admirably clear, well-balanced presentation that centers on wolves' habits and pack structure. Milton also addresses their endangered status, as well as their place in fantasy, folklore, and the popular imagination. Attractive realistic watercolors on almost every page. Top-notch: concise, but remarkably extensive in its coverage. A real bargain. (Nonfiction/Easy reader. 6-10) -- Copyright ©1992, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

4.0 out of 5 stars
My little girl loves it!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wild, Wild Wolves (Step into Reading) (Paperback)
My six year old daughter loves animals, especially wild ones. She has been fascinated with Alaska and with wolves for some time now, although (or perhaps because) we live in a large city. She wasn't initially attracted to this book because it isn't very beautiful, but she was captivated by the accounts of real wolves in their natural surroundings. There are many books that relate the nasty side of wolves, and there are some that attempt to undo the damage of the myths of fear; but to read about how wolves really live (and to acknowledge their mystery) is the best for my young wildlife lover.

This review is from: Wild, Wild Wolves (Step-Into-Reading, Step 3) (Hardcover)
We kept checking this out from the library and finally she said 'Mom, can we just buy it...." She loves how the story line and the realistic pictures show her the facts about wolves. She likes that some of the words are hard, but not too hard, so she can read it by herself.
