Just Wonderful

My girls just loved this story of the wolves. Seven wolves waiting while the pups are being born. The eagle waiting for the pups to grow, so he can attack, the girl pup who is almost taken, but saved by father wolf at the last second. This story had my girls on pins and needles time and time again. Add to the mix that the book is beautifully illustraged and you have a book for toddlers and young readers that is just wonderful.

Lyrical and intriuging

Kay Winters' Wolf Watch is a lyrical and intriguing story that that achieves a rare blend of poetry and realism. Winters is a rare and gifted poet and storyteller. This book is a must for all animal lovers!

A beautiful book

Wolf Watch by Kay Winters is one of those books that a child will read and remember when he grows up. It is not only beautifully illustrated (the paintings are breathtaking), but the prose is powerful and poetic as well. You really feel as though you are inside the wolf pack and the wolf's world. I was never particularly fond of wolves (Little Red Riding Hood and all), but after reading this book I have a much truer picture of this amazing animal. I am now a wolf fan and want to do what I can to help save the wolves. I wouldn't be surprised if this book inspired many children--and adults--to help save the wolf. It will also inspire children to care more about all animals, I think. Buy this book, read it yourself, and then give it to a child you care about.

My wolf loving son's favorite book

My 6 year old son loves this book. He has checked it out from his school libary about 4 times since the begining of the school year. This book is well written, with beautiful illustrations. The story is told in a sort of poetic manner. Sheds light on how wolf life is in a way that isn't bloody or scarey for younger children. My sons favorite animal is the wolf. Santa plans on bringing this book to my son for Christmas.
