SHARE WOLVES WITH ME 3 WAYS--PART 2

ANIMAL PREDATORS: WOLVES



Animal Predators: Wolves (Lerner) shares the story of wolves as hunters and is illutrated with amazing real-life photos.

It picks up where GROWING UP WILD: WOLVES leaves off. 

Key in this true story of wolves working together is how they interact with each other. 

Is it important that there's an Alpha male and an Alpha female in the pack?

What roles do those leaders play in the pack's day-to-day life?

Make up a story about the little black male wolf in Growing Up Wild: Wolves. Tell about him becoming an active part of the pack. You could have him become the Alpha male. How might that happen?

SHARE WOLVES 3 WAYS WITH ME--PART 1

Growing Up Wild Wolves







Growing Up Wild Wolves (Atheneum) is a Non-fiction picture book totally illustrated by real photos. It's a FUN way to be right there with a wolf pack, watching wolf pups grow up.

I have always been fascinated by wolves. I've been lucky enough to see wolves in the wild. I was WOWed! 

Wolves are definitely not dogs--not pets. They are smart, hard-working masters of their world. And a wolf pack is a family that both works together, follow its leaders, and has its family squabbles. 

EYE SPY AN ADVENTURE!
