Look to the North: A Wolf Pup Diary Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Newbery Medalist Jean Craighead George lovingly tells the story of three wolf pups--from the moment they open their eyes to the time they lead the hunt. Lyrical passages in her wolf pup diary describe how the pups tumble and play and when they first learn to howl and talk wolk talk. Readers are reminded of the changes in nature that are happening in the lower 48 states as they "look to the north" to watch the wolf pups grow. Jean George's words and Lucia Washburn's breathtaking paintings give the reader a rare glimpse of one of nature's noblest creatures: the wolf.

Synopsis:

In this glorious tribute to one of nature's noblest creatures, Newbery Medalist Jean Craighead George tracks the development of three wolf cubs over the course of a year. As we see Boulder, Scree, and Talus learn to howl, talk, play, and begin to fend for themselves in the challenging alpine tundra, we are also reminded of the changes in nature in the lower 48 states. A rare and enchanting glimpse of one of the world's most misunderstood creatures.
