| Wolf Song by Mary Bevis | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| By Ely, MN author Mary Bevis, illustrated by Ely, MN artist and author Consie Powell. All summer Nell has been looking forward to an evening of howling for wolves with Uncle Walter. Now that the time is here, she's a little anxious. But the starry sky soon soothes her fears, and the evening unfolds with all the satisfaction of a wonder-full wilderness experience as Nell learns to howl "like one of the pack." On each page the colorful scratchboard illustrations tell two stories—that of Nell and Uncle Walter, and that of a wolf pack at its August rendezvous site. The illustations accurately depict wolf pack behavior and communication. Children will enjoy finding the other nocturnal northwoods animals pictured—loons, beaver, and a flying squirrel, and will easily identify with Nell's excitement and apprehension. A non-fiction section at the back of the book provides facts about timber wolves, their pack structure, and how to go on a howling expedition if you are in an area where wolves live. Acid-free. top quality paper. Sturdy. durable bindings. Laminated covers that wipe clean easily. Full color. 10" x 8". 32 pages. Ages 5-10. | ||||

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Story and Illustrations by Ely, MN author Polly Carlson-Voiles. Someone is walking through the north woods in winter. Readers can see the tracks in each detailed depiction of winter habitat, but they don't discover the wolf joining her mate until the last pages. On the way, they see frozen wood frogs, a bear in her den with her newborn cubs, sleepy chipmunks, fish and otters swimming under the ice, owl hunting and hare hiding, and many other creatures surviving and even thriving in the cold, snowy winter environment. The artwork in this book is created from intricately cut and torn colored paper with watercolor and ink detailing. It has been so carefully reproduced that the reader will feel like they are holding the original art in their hands. Children will enjoy finding the many animals on each page. A glossary defines different types of snow and other winter terminology. 32 pages. Ages 5–10. Full Color. 10" x 8" | ||||
