Well I loved it!

I'm glad I did not use to other two reviews before mine to make my decision on this book, because I gave it a chance and found it to be beautiful and informative. There are many kids books out there that get nitty gritty on the science of wolf life, but this one is more artistic and creative. Arnosky's paintings use different colors than might be found in nature at a given moment, but that it why I like them - they are gentle and expressive and convey his feelings about the gorgeous animals he is observing. As to the complaint that he should have studied wolves out west for his "one whole day", that would be nearly impossible. Having worked in national parks that have wolves, I can tell you that the average person is lucky to get even a short look at one, nevermind watch a pack all day. Even experienced researchers have difficulty observing them for long periods. The point of his book was to tell what he saw them do for a day, and to do that of course he had to be somewhere where they were watchable for that long. I think this is a lovely book, and also recommend Arnosky's other nature books, especially "Wild Ponies".
