Wolves Nature Study

Narratives:

• The Eyes of Gray Wolf by Jonathan London
• Dream Wolf by Paul Goble

*Note: I tried to focus on stories where wolves were depicted kindly. Many children’s stories depict wolves as the enemy (e.g. Red Riding Hood, Peter and the Wolf, The Three Little Pigs) so I wanted our nature study to counter those images. For older kids than mine, Kipling’s The Jungle Book might be another option.

Nonfiction:

• Wolves by Gail Gibbons
• The Big Book of Beasts by Yuval Zommer (Wolves, pages 24-25)
• Firefly Encyclopedia of Animals (Wild Dogs, pages 26-27)
• Song of the Wild by Nicola Davies (Wolves Howl poem)

Resources:

• Animal Tracks Nature Guide (Brave Grown Home)

For Fun:

• Full Moon Names Digital Pack (January is the Wolf Moon)
• Peter and the Wolf and Peg Doll Set and my favorite Peter and the Wolf book
• Red Riding Hood Peg Doll Set
• Wolf Figurine
• Wolf Footprint Stone
