5.0 out of 5 starsWho's afraid of the big bad wolf?
By Kali on June 27, 2000
Format: Paperback
This is a wonderful book written by the renowned naturalist R.D.Lawrence that aims to introduce school children to the world of the wolf. Lawrence is one of the foremost experts on wildlife, and has written many books for adults, but this book is aimed at a much younger audience. Children from nine years and onwards will thoroughly enjoy this colorful book that is filled with amazing photos and an interesting narrative that takes the young reader deep into the lair of the wolf. Lawrence presents his experience of wolves in the wild as well as other interesting facts such as the historical distribution of the wolves over the centuries and how wolves differ from other canine species. This is a well written book that will draw the child into the strange and wonderful world of the wolf. However this book is more suitable for the older reader; younger readers would probably enjoy looking at the many photos and drawings but the narrative is aimed at a child with better than average reading skills. Several younger children that I know of who have been introduced to this book as a learning aid were keener on the colorful drawings/sketches than the photos (though they did like them) and they wanted a more interactive book. They especially liked it when Lawrence "asked" them questions such as "Is it a wolf or coyote?" and then described the difference briefly whilst showing a sketch of a wolf and a coyote. It would be great if another book about wolves could be published to meet the needs of younger readers (age group 4 to 8 years) because there obviously is a niche that could be filled. All the same this is an excellent learning aid for the older child, as well as being a beautiful book that charts the rise, fall and rise again of the supposed big "bad" wolf.

5.0 out of 5 starsReally good short last minute book!!
A Kid's Review on October 31, 2000
Format: Paperback
This book is really good. There are really big pictures that give you an image of what they are saying. The words are really big which makes it easy to read. Seymoue Simon talks about the relationship between humans and wolves. He talkes all about wolves. I think everyone should read this book!

5.0 out of 5 starsAmazing book for kids and adults alike who love wolves!
By Little Dutch Girl on February 6, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book would be a great addition to any wolf lovers catalog of wolf books. I gave mine to a seven year old, but I loved it and would have kept it myself. Beautiful pictures, and informative text. A win.

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat Resource for Education
By A Customer on November 17, 1999
Format: Library Binding
I recently taught a unit to a second grade class on Wolves. This book was very resourceful to me and enjoyable to the children. The pictures are breathtaking and it is filled with a variety of wolf information. Although, I feel that the reading level is slighlty above ages 4-8. I would suggest, for independant reading, ages 8-10 perhaps.

5.0 out of 5 starsAnother excellent book by Seymour Simon
By sunny swimmer on October 28, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
My 4-year old son is nuts about the Smithsonian series of books that this book was published by, and so are we (his parents). Seymour Simon is materful at educating and intriguing children with his text, and the photos are superb as well. Admittedly my son is young for these books, but he gets a great deal from them anyway and I am certain that he will continue to get more from them as he grows older. Wolves is a wonderful book that is packed with fascinating information about these beautiful creatures, along with grogeous photos of wolves in their natural habitat. Another winner from Seymour Simon!

Bought 'Wolves' for our grandson, who thoroughly enjoyed, and continues to enjoy this book. Excellent information and beautiful pictures that combine to tell an incredible story about these fabulous, though feared and misunderstood, creatures. From young to old this book is sure to fascinate and please any reader.

5.0 out of 5 starsand i feel safe in saying that she will still enjoy this book and the facts in it
By Wooska on December 8, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
purchased as a Christmas gift for my 8 year old who loves wolves...this is listed as a 'core' friendly book and in my state the 'core standards' are all over the place. my daughter reads 2 levels above her grade, and i feel safe in saying that she will still enjoy this book and the facts in it. I feel confident purchasing a book from the Smithsonian for her in hopes that she may learn something new about her favorite animals. The pictures are good, and the reading is fairly easy.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat for kids - young and old
By Kindle Customer on June 9, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Beautifully done as a combination of full page color pictures with large print on the opposing page. Engaging for young an old who like their information served up with great big color pictures like I do. This was a great book for my son who had heard me explain that our "domesticated" dogs were descended from wolves and how it was a shame that so many people feared them instead of cherishing them as part of the whole ecosystem and beautiful in their own right.
