Travel to the northwoods from the comfort of your chair

Now here's a book that looks and sounds like the trips we've taken in the BWCA! The kids on my Christmas list are going to be able to remember the summer memories of canoeing in the wilderness all year long with this book. The pictures are beautifully detailed and the 'second story' of the wolf pack adds interest even the youngest child will enjoy. If you've ever had a skittish child on a camping trip or in the woods, this is a great book. Nell overcomes her fears and howls "like one of the pack."

Courage and magic in the North Woods

As adults, we encourage our children to commune with the natural world, but often don't know how to do it. This book makes a marvelous start. It's a tender, word-perfect tale that takes young Nell into the night woods with her Uncle Walter to howl with the wolves. Scary? A little. Rewarding? Tremendously! Using delicate, evocative language and a touch of humor, author Mary Bevis leads us through the dark northern forest with a firm hand, showing us the mysteries of the night and the beauty of its wild inhabitants. Nell masters her fear and the wolves display their own curiosity: a gentle meeting of minds. Consie Powell's marvelous illustrations manage to capture even the howls themselves--and there is a delightful "second story" that kids can decode using a key to wolf behavior in the back of the book. A deeply satisfying tale of courage and magic.
