    Paperback (Dog Eared Pub, Dec. 1, 1991)
    Discovering Wolves investigates current research and wolf-human conflicts in addition to the natural history of wolves. It helps dispel myths about wolves as predators while making clear their plight as threatened or endangered species. Discovering Wolves provides 18 FUN, thought-stimulating activities designed to help children exercise critical thinking skills. Information updated with every printing. Now includes a full colored sheet of 34 realistic wolf stickers. Disney's recent Beauty and the Beast portrays a pack of ravening wolves attacking a healthy horse and an equally healthy rider. Users of this fine workbook, fully equipped with the facts, will be able to dispute that image. In forty short pages, the life cycle of wolves, their relationship to humans and to their environment, and their plight as threatened or endangered species is made clear. Exercises are paired with information, sparking the reader's interest while simultaneously helping him/her learn important facts. For those teaching about wolves, this is an indispensable resource.
