Gr 2–4—Striking photographs chronicle the life span of a male wolf in the Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia, Canada. Starting with the wolf's departure from his home to a neighboring island, the book follows him as he acclimates to his new environment. Careful and varied page layouts include concise, vivid language that describes his journey and images that bring readers up close—all that is missing is the feeling of misty air on skin. The wolf is ultimately joined by another, a female—and the cycle begins again. This well-made title offers great visual detail supported by age-appropriate text.
VERDICT Consider for elementary collections with an interest in wildlife, especially those near the Great Bear Rainforest or wolf populations.
