Synopsis by the author/publisher
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a wolf? What would you do in the cold winter months? Where would you sleep? What would you eat?

The lively, realistic illustrations of Susan Detwiler complement the rhyming text and bring each month to life. From January to December, howl, frolic, and dance, while learning important lessons page-by-page! The For Creative Minds learning section includes a Wolf Communications Matching and Wolf Calendar activity.
