Childrens Books about Wolves

This beautiful picture book follows the journey of a young gray wolf who garnered nationwide attention when he became the first wild wolf in California in almost a century.

Using facts recorded by Fish & Wildlife scientists, author Emma Bland Smith imagines the wolf’s experiences in close detail as he makes an epic 2,000-mile trek over three years time.

The wolf’s story is interwoven with the perspective of a young girl who follows his trek through the media.

As she learns more about wolves and their relationships with humans, she becomes determined to find a way to keep him safe by making him a wolf that is too famous to harm.

When Mr. Wolf is blown up to Godzilla proportions, the Bad Guys find themselves in monster-sized trouble.

They must figure out how to stop an alien invasion and get Wolfie back to his old self before the world is totally destroyed.

Good thing they have the International League of Heroes on their side, and some newly honed superpowers ready to put to the test...

Everyone's favorite hero has become a menace to society! Can the Bad Guys save the day?

Some may favor the proper way to howl, but what if you have a song in your heart that needs to come out?

A delightful, disarmingly funny tale for little and big wolves everywhere.
