The Boy Who Loved Wolves

Noah, an eight-year-old boy in a small village beside a great green forest, listens each night to the wolves howling. While his neighbours shiver and close their windows, he records what he notices in his notebook. When a ranger named Maya comes to the village, Noah begins to learn about the animals behind the night song.

Maya leads Noah into the forest to a wolf den beneath a fallen tree, where he meets Silver, the calm lead female with a notched ear and a tracking collar, and Pip, the youngest pup, whose tumbling makes him laugh. Watching the pack, Noah sees that wolves are shy rather than dangerous and that the whole family helps raise the pups. Written by Jane MEADOW, this warm tale for readers of roughly six to nine can be read on Kids Tale Book, aloud at bedtime or alone.
