If one wolf howls in the January moonlight, what do two wolves do, or three or four? Young readers will find out in this delightful, informative picture book written by children's author Scotti Cohn and illustrated by Susan Detwiler.
Using rhyming text that children will love, Cohn takes readers on a one-year journey - from month to month - into the world of the wolf. We learn what wolves do in the cold winter months, what they eat, and where they sleep. Children will want to howl right along with the wolves as the story is read aloud, and they'll learn important facts about wolves without even realizing it!
Beautifully detailed, realistic illustrations by Susan Detwiler bring the text to life, making it fun for children to count the wolves among the seasonal backgrounds and foregrounds that show wolves in natural settings.
As with all books published by Sylvan Dell Publishers, the book includes a "For Creative Minds" educational section with activities and fun facts. Additional teaching activities including coloring pages, before and after reading questions, and interactive quizzes are available at the publisher's website.
One Wolf HOWLS is perfect for the home or school library. Children will want to read the book over and over again. Teachers and parents will love the many interesting and challenging ways the book can be used to teach a variety of math and science content.
