 Debunks some of the myths about wolves June 3, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Even though nearly everyone has a close association with domesticated wolves, there is a common and unwarranted hysteria about them. This unwarranted thought process has led to them being reviled by many and hunted to near extinction. Plans by wildlife managers to re-introduce them into places like Yellowstone Park have met with strong and at times irrational resistance. This book is designed to set the record straight and to show wolves as they truly are.
Wolves are pack animals and very intelligent. While they are feared by many, instances of a healthy wolf engaging in an unprovoked attack trying to kill a human are unknown. Wolves generally hunt small game such as mice and rabbits, so left to themselves; they keep the undesirable animal numbers down. They rarely interact with humans, and even the instances of wolves attacking livestock appear to be exaggerated.
This book is an excellent primer on how wolves live. Humans have little to fear from them, more damage is done by domesticated wolves (dogs) per year than by wild wolves. By reading this book, you will know how they act, which is not so different from dogs.

This book is really good. There are really big pictures that give you an image of what they are saying. The words are really big which makes it easy to read. Seymoue Simon talks about the relationship between humans and wolves. He talkes all about wolves. I think everyone should read this book!
