"Wolf Island is an absolutely gorgeous book with amazing
photographs and text explaining the life of a wolf in simple and
evocative language. The book will be a great addition to all
libraries. While the book is intended for those in the early
grades, there is enough here to intrest older readers, leading them
to the other books by this author/photographer pair and to other
nature stories and nonfiction. What more can you ask for? Highly
recommended."-- "CM Magazine"
"On this adventure the reader learns many fascinating facts about
the sea wolves...Each beautiful photograph enhances and illustrates
the corresponding text...Wolf Island is highly recommended for both
school and public libraries. The book would be a useful addition to
study units on nature, ecological systems, habitat and, of course,
wolves. It is also an excellent read-aloud for any story time
group."-- "Resource Links"
"Visually spectacular, Wolf Island and A Bear's Life work best as a
pair, showing how different types of animals navigate the vast and
ancient rainforest in both different and similar ways. Read
together, these books—and undoubtedly any others that will
be added to the series in the future—provide opportunities
for readers to compare and contrast the habits, homes and
personalities of some of their favourite animals in a highly
engaging and informative way. Full of universal themes the books in
the My Great Bear Rainforest series will delight readers of all
interests and abilities. "-- "Canadian Children's Book News"
