Wolves!

Finished May 19
Wolf: Legend, Enemy, Icon by Rebecca L Grambo, photographs by Daniel J Cox
I've always been fascinated by wolves, and remember writing my major Grade Six essay (and accompanying speech) on the wolf.
This book looks at many aspects of the wolf, in particular how it relates to humans. There is history of the wolf as a species, the various legends in Asia, Europe and the New World that relate to the wolf, how the wolf was revered or feared by different cultural groups, and how it interacts with other animals in the environment.
The pictures are gorgeous and the text is interesting.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
