The Tale of the Big Bad Wolf
Wolves in Fairytales
Little Red Ridinghood Meets the Wolf
Miles, Elizabeth
Buy at AllPosters.com
Tales of Werewolves and the Big Bad Wolf brought fear to generations of people who believed that wolves were snarling, lurking beasts hiding in the forest waiting for someone to drop by for lunch.
Between 1520 and 1630 there were over 30 000 supposedly proven cases of people being attacked by werewolves.
The "Werewolves" may actually have been people who were mentally ill, drunk or on drugs, or even have had rabies. Thieves may have skulked around in wolf skins, trying to scare people. This may have helped fuel the werewolf legend.
She-Wolf, c. 500 BC with Figures of Romulus and Remus

Another famous tale that has not been so deadly for wolves is about
When the twin brothers Romulus and Remus, founders of Rome, were condemned to death as babies and thrown into the River Tiber a female wolf found the twins. The story goes that her maternal instincts took over. She nursed them and cared for them in a cave overlooking Rome. The children were later discovered by a shepherd and became part of his family.
Stories from India between between 1843 and 1933 also included cases of children being raised by wolves. In 1920 there was a well documented case of a Doctor Singh brought back two girls to his orphanage who had lived with wolves. The oldest girl was eight and they walked on all fours at their time of rescue. They fed entirely on raw meat, and they lapped their water crouched on all fours. When they felt threatened, they hunched their backs, bared their teeth and growled.
Norse mythology tells the legend of the giant Fenrir.

There is also the beloved tale of Peter and the Wolf which introduces the instruments of the orchestra to young children and the Boy Who Cried Wolf by Aesop.
Wolves have been featured in the folklore and mythology of many cultures throughout history.
The Wolf Unit Study
Let's learn about wolves!
I like to start the Wolf Unit by gathering the children on the rug and discussing everything the children know about wolves. We make a list on chart paper and then make a list of the things we would like to know.
Next I read a story of a real wolf family such as the one by Jean Craighead George. We talk about the relationship of each of the members of the family in the wolf pack and start a Wolfpack Word Wall. Words on this wordwall might include:
male, female, wolf, pack, wolf pack, pup, canine
I write each of these words with white chalk on black construction paper cut in the shape of a wolf. (Spraying with hairspray will fix the chalk.) I mount these words on a bulletin board with a snowy open field scene. By attaching the wolf words with black push pins the children can take them to their desks when they need to spell a word and then reattach them later.
Next I lead the children over to the reading nook that has been converted from a Lemming's , River Otter's, Woodchuck's, Frog's Den or Bird Blind depending on the unit we studied before. The children discover that the den now has a stack of wolf books for reading while cuddled up to one of the stuffed wolves in our wolf pack.
Look to the North: A Wolf Pup Diary
A Unit Study to Accompany Look to the North: A Wolf Pup Diary by George, Jean Craighead
As you follow the three new wolf pups in the den in the far north, notice how the passing time is expressed in number of weeks at the top left of each spread. The Italic sentences tell what its happening at that time in the world of many readers. A vignette on the opposite page illustrates a part of that experience while the large illustrations and the major part of the text shows how the baby wolves are progressing.
- Look to the North: A Wolf Pup Diary by Jean Craighead George
- Starting with the best of the best in picture books for kindergarten through second grade, Carol Hurst shows you how to use them effectively in the classroom.
Each of the skills in the picture books is clearly labeled with recurring images for social studies, math, language arts, science, physical education, music and art. So the teacher can find the relevant listings with ease. This makes designing a new unit a breeze.
Then Ms. Hurst takes the best authors and illustrators separately and shows their most important books for classroom use.

When we finish we talk about the difference between fiction and non-fiction and make a Venn Graph to describe the similarities and differences between the wolves in the two stories.
We talk about how the wolf is portrayed in each version. What happens to the wolf in the end? Is the wolf more cunning or fearsome?
Ask the children to show the point in the book that they are talking about in order to help them learn to check their facts.
As you reread the story on other days, children may find other similarities and differences to be added to the Wolf Venn Graph.
Venn Diagram comparing Wolves
Wolf Venn Graph
I read many stories about wolves throughout the day and throughout the Wolf Unit.Children are encouraged to read stories on their own, to take books home and to listen to stories about wolves on tape.
Each day we take a few minutes to review what we have learned and to compare the different versions.
A Venn Graph can be introduced to show how certain elements are in one wolf story, other elements are in the other story and some elements are in both stories.
Wolf pawprints make a beautiful decoration around the edge of the Venn Graph as a border.

Wolves work together in packs to run around and capture their prey.
Outside on the playground form two teams. One team are the wolves and the other are the sheep.
To differentiate the wolves from the sheep get an old white t-shirt and rip it into strips. Use these strips as headbands. When a sheep gets captures they take off the headband and become a wolf.
Each sheep that is captured becomes a wolf until there are no more sheep and the game starts over again.
This game not only gets kids moving but also helps kids learn cooperation skills and illustrates the way wolf packs work together to capture prey.

Stuffed animals help to bring the Wolf Unit to life.
We use these wolves for cuddling with when reading, for acting out stories, and for manipulatives when trying to understand difficult math problems.
Math problems such as: 3 wolves are in the den. 3 more wolves come back home. How many are in the den now?
You might ask your parents to run a fund raiser to get your stuffed wolf collection going. We have a pack of 6 Cuddlekins Wolves in our wolves' den. Each year I try to add to my collection of stuffed animals.

Wolf Pups in the Den
During April, wolves have litters of six to ten pups.
After you have read about how wolf cubs are born, invite children to act out the life of wolf cubs. You might use the Milk Carton Igloo reading nook from the Lemmings Unit Study or the space under your Reading Loft as your wolf den.
My children love to snuggle together in the den to read wolf stories. Christmas lights or a flashlight work well for reading lamps.
- Inside the Wolf Den
- Wriggling into the wolves' underground den, several squirming wolf puppies curled up on top of one another could be seen. Outside, the pack's howling and barking was escalating.

The Wolves
The Gray Wolf (Canis lupus; also spelled Grey Wolf, see spelling differences; also known as Timber Wolf or Wolf) is a mammal in the order Carnivora. The Gray Wolf shares a common ancestry with the domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris), as evidenced by DNA sequencing and genetic drift studies. Gray wolves were once abundant and distributed over much of North America, Eurasia, and the Middle East. Today, for a variety of human-related reasons, including widespread habitat destruction and excessive hunting, wolves inhabit only a very limited portion of their former range. Though listed as a species of least concern for extinction worldwide, for some regions including the Continental United States, the species is listed as endangered or threatened.

Wolves were once abundant over much of North America and Eurasia but now inhabits a very small portion of its former range because of widespread destruction of its habitat, human encroachment of its habitat, and the resulting human-wolf encounters that sparked attempts of total extermination.
The gray wolf is, however, are very adaptable. They reproduce and expand in areas where allowed and are regarded as being of least concern for extinction.
Today, wolves are protected in some areas, hunted for sport in others, or may be subject to extermination as perceived threats to livestock and pets.

Wolf Population Fluxuation Activity
A pack of wolves (K-4) stands in a circle with optional dress-up of fake-fur tails and fuzzy ears. Half the kids are sitting to show population balance. Kids sitting down from the beginning are wolf pups ready to be born. The teacher or whoever reads the scenarios shuffles cards with scenarios written on them and begins to call them out.
If it is a decreasing scenario, one wolf sits. If it increases, a wolf stands up. This continues until either the entire 'pack' dies and the wolf population is doomed, the wolf population sky-rockets until no-one else can stand up, or whoever calls out scenarios runs out of cards. You may choose only to use the scenarios shown in the site below or create your own.

Wolf Anatomy
How Wolves Differ From Dogs
A wolves' long, powerful muzzles help distinguish them from other canids, particularly coyotes and golden jackals, which have more narrow, pointed muzzles. Wolves differ from domestic dogs as they have a comparatively larger brain capacity. Larger paw size, yellow eyes, longer legs and bigger teeth further distinguish adult wolves from other canids, especially dogs. Also, precaudal glands at the base of the tail are present in wolves, however, not in dogs.
- Wolf Anatomy at Animal Corner
- Wolves move their ears from side to side to determine where a sound is coming from.
Gray wolves share a common ancestry with domestic dogs.
After reading this story we write a class predictable book with alternating pages:
A wolf is wild.
A dog is tame.
A wolf kills for it's food.
A dog is given dog food.
etc.
The children choose a page to illustrate. The pages are put in a three ring notebook. Anyone can add more pages later during Writer's Workshop. The book is then put in the classroom library and children are allowed to take it home to read to their families.

Gray wolves once were plentiful
Background information for teachers.
- Gray wolves to lose endangered status - Los Angeles Times - February 22, 2008
- Gray wolves once were plentiful from central Mexico to the Arctic, but were killed off for decades, and by the 1930s had virtually disappeared from the American West. In 1974, they were listed as endangered. Since then about $27 million has been spent by the federal government to conserve the wolves.
In 1995 and 1996, officials reintroduced 66 wolves to central Idaho and the Yellowstone National Park area. The population has since surpassed the goal of a stable population of at least 300 animals, to more than 1,500 throughout the northern Rockies region. That population is increasing by about 24% annually, according to wildlife officials.
The delisting will affect Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, the eastern third of Washington and Oregon, and a small portion of central Utah. It will take effect March 28. Last year, gray wolves were delisted in Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota after the region's population hit about 4,000. That delisting is being litigated.
All three Rocky Mountain states were required to submit wolf management plans for a delisted population before Thursday's announcement, and they have agreed to maintain a minimum population of about 150 wolves per state. Ed Bangs, Fish and Wildlife's wolf recovery coordinator, who headed the reintroduction effort, predicted that the regional population would not fall below 900 to 1,200 wolves. - Wolf Song of Alaska: Ode to the Extinct Japanese Wolf
- Ode to the Extinct Japanese Wolf
by Jean Gerard of Los Osos CA
The wolf that is not there, howls still
and on the barren slopes dusted with snow
he stands, nose windward, tasting the chill
air and wondering where to go
now that his wilderness is shorn of trees.
Where once he chased deer, squirrels and wild hogs
he hears the busy saw-whine in the breeze
and sees huge piles of logs.
In hungry rage he runs to temple ground
to find a mate and sheltered place to breed,
yet even there his traces will be found
and he be driven out, his end decreed
by farmers' traps or poison or a gun.
When all have joined the spirit world but one
then he alone must roam the shadows on the hill
and hide behind a reed and howl still,
and farmers wake to listen to his cry
and dream in sleep they see his yellow eye. - WOLVES OF THE RISING SUN
- Some of the most fascinating wolves were found in Japan. There were two sub-species of wolf in Japan, the dwarf wolf, Honsh%u016B wolf or Shamanu (Canis lupus hodophilax) and the Hokkaido wolf or Ezo wolf (Canis lupus hattai ).

The gray wolf (Canis lupus) is also known as the timber wolf or wolf. They measure 26-36 inches high and weigh 70-150 pounds.
To understand these numbers we use an overhead projector to blow up an outline drawing of a wolf to the measurements given. We then trace around the outline on poster board and cut out two wolves. We use these wolf cut outs to measure distances in wolf units.
To understand the weight we fill a gunnysack with 70 pounds of beans add ears and a mouth and let the wolf hang out near the rug as a pillow for silent reading time.

What's the Time, Mr. Wolf?
Australian author and artist Jones here pits the wiles of a hungry wolf against a host of unsuspecting barnyard animals whom he invites to a "VERY special meal." Unbeknownst to the dinner guests, but quickly apparent to readers, is the fact that the animals themselves are the entrees. One by one, they ask, "What's the time, Mr. Wolf?" A die-cut hole features both the questioner and, with a flip of the page, the question. As the hours tick by toward dinnertime, the scheming wolf asks each animal to pick up the condiment that suits it best (mint sauce from the sheep, oranges from the duck and so on). Meanwhile, the animals frolic the day away at the market, beach and swimming hole. Spry watercolors offer a wealth of details that hint at the wolf's plot: a framed portrait of a turkey dinner hangs above Mr. Wolf's bed, he tucks a book titled "Cooking with Lamb" casually under his arm as he converses with the sheep. Mischievous allusions to other literary wolves include a triptych of porcine photos and an ancestral portrait of a wolf in grandma's clothing. In an anticlimactic ending, when Mr. Wolf finally announces, "It's... DINNER TIME!" he attempts to pounce on his assembled guests, who easily escape to the safety of the barn and party without him

Listen to the Wolves
Howls, barks, yips: Sounds of Wolves
- NOVA Online | Wild Wolves | What's in a Howl?
- Ask anyone about wolf vocalizations and the howl invariably springs to mind. Even though wolves bark, woof, whine, whimper, yelp, growl, snarl and moan a lot more often than they howl, it is howling that defines the wolf, and fascinates us. So why do wolves howl?
Howl the Vowels
1. As you recite the letters of the alphabet you can add excitement by "howling the vowels." Say each vowel in the voice of a howling wolf.
2. Howl the Vowels as you spell the Wordwall Words.
Variation: Hang Full Moons from the ceiling with a vowel on each one. As you spell the words howl at the moon with the correct vowel.
Huff and Puff the Short Vowels
A n English Lesson from the Big Bad Wolf
short u (huff and puff)
short i (chinny chin chin, big, and pig)
When you huff you actually use the short u sound. As you retell the story of the Big Bad Wolf use that to reinforce the short u sound. Make a house for one of the pigs and put pictures of words that have short vowel sounds on them as tiles of the roof. These could be made out of pieces of cardstock with velcro on the back.
As the Wolf huffs the words with the short u sound blow off first. Then the ones that begin with the p sound as in puff.
- Three Little Pigs Lesson Plans
- English
* For the little pups, this story is a treasure trove of short vowel sounds. We especially like it for short u (huff and puff) and i (chinny chin chin, big, and pig).
* For older pups, point of view is a natural lesson here, considering the wealth of versions of the story from the wolf's point of view. - Funky Phonics: Learn to Read vol. 1 - Songs for Teaching Phonics - Synthetic Phonics
- Song number 7 is the Huff and Puff song which teaches ("h" and "p") onsets.
- Use Huff and Puff Spelling Rules
- FLOSS is a complex system of phonemic pronunciation that is used in dictionaries and other places to help with correct pronunciation of American words.
The first Floss spelling rule is a rule of thumb used to help students understand when to double the letters f, l and s in words. According to this simple Floss spelling rule, these letters double at the end of a word when they follow a short vowel sound. Thus, words like huff, puff, stuff are 'f' floss words. Hills and pills are 'l' floss words, while grass and miss are 's' floss words.
If you're teaching spelling, there are some excellent resources for Floss spelling rules and other spelling rules.
Unscramble the Wolf Words
Wolves on the Chalkboard Wolf
Cut out an outline of a wolf and attach it to a small trash can.
Make a list of wolf prey. Scramble the letters to the words and add a line drawing of the prey.
Children unscramble the words and feed them to the wolf.
Thank you Bob Chesley from The Wood Works of Cedar Springs for allowing me to use the above photo of the Howling Plywood Cutout. If painted with Chalkboard paint, that wolf would be a fun way to practice writing wolf words or wolf poems.

Wolf Worksheets
Big Bad Wolf Seatwork
Worksheets have gotten a bad rap lately. Most people see them as a waste of time or just busywork but I discovered that some children love them, especially if they are not required to do them. I like to make worksheets available as a center choice or include them as an activity choice in a literacy bag. Sometimes the children will even begin to make up their own worksheets based on the information they have discovered while studying.
The following are some wolf worksheets. I suggest that you put them on one or those shelf organizers for desktops with a stuffed or plush wolf on the top shelf. Have the wolf holding a sign saying Wolf Worksheets and offer them as a choice at center time.

The Wolf and the Shepherd
Wolf Fable
Illustration by Milo Winter
The Wolf and the Shepherd an Aesop Fable
A Wolf had been prowling around a flock of Sheep for a long time,
and the Shepherd watched very anxiously to prevent him from
carrying off a Lamb. But the Wolf did not try to do any harm.
Instead he seemed to be helping the Shepherd take care of the
Sheep. At last the Shepherd got so used to seeing the Wolf about
that he forgot how wicked he could be.
One day he even went so far as to leave his flock in the Wolf's care
while he went on an errand. But when he came back and saw how
many of the flock had been killed and carried off, he knew how
foolish to trust a Wolf as he exclaimed. "I have been rightly
served; why did I trust my sheep to a Wolf?"
Moral:
Delegate your task wisely, and only to people you trust.

The Boy Who Called Wolf!
Wolf! Wolf! by John Rocco is the story of an old wolf who has been raising vegetables because he can't catch prey anymore. Only the weeds have overtaken his little garden, so one day he sets out to find a nice young meal of goat. When he finds a flock of goats at the top of a mountain, it's tended by a young boy. A boy fond of crying "Wolf!" Which he does to great effect, much to the exasperation of the townsfolk.
The old wolf takes advantage of the situation by convincing the boy that nobody will listen to his pleas anymore, and threatens to wreak havoc unless the boy brings a goat to his house and ties it to his fence. The boy agrees, to the wolf's delight. Will the wolf eat the goat? Will the goat eat the garden?
This one has a delightful resolution, but more importantly, it has phenomenal artwork. Go on, have a gander:

Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf
As soon as Wolf began to feel
That he would like a decent meal,
He went and knocked on Grandma's door.
When Grandma opened it, she saw
The sharp white teeth, the horrid grin,
And Wolfie said, ``May I come in?''
Poor Grandmamma was terrified,
``He's going to eat me up!'' she cried.
And she was absolutely right.
He ate her up in one big bite.
But Grandmamma was small and tough,
And Wolfie wailed, ``That's not enough!
I haven't yet begun to feel
That I have had a decent meal!''
He ran around the kitchen yelping,
``I've got to have a second helping!''
Then added with a frightful leer,
``I'm therefore going to wait right here
Till Little Miss Red Riding Hood
Comes home from walking in the wood.''
He quickly put on Grandma's clothes,
(Of course he hadn't eaten those).
He dressed himself in coat and hat.
He put on shoes, and after that
He even brushed and curled his hair,
Then sat himself in Grandma's chair.
In came the little girl in red.
She stopped. She stared. And then she said,
``What great big ears you have, Grandma.''
``All the better to hear you with,'' the Wolf replied.
``What great big eyes you have, Grandma.''
said Little Red Riding Hood.
``All the better to see you with,'' the Wolf replied.
He sat there watching her and smiled.
He thought, I'm going to eat this child.
Compared with her old Grandmamma
She's going to taste like caviar.
Then Little Red Riding Hood said, ``But Grandma,
what a lovely great big furry coat you have on.''
``That's wrong!'' cried Wolf. ``Have you forgot
To tell me what BIG TEETH I've got?
Ah well, no matter what you say,
I'm going to eat you anyway.''
The small girl smiles. One eyelid flickers.
She whips a pistol from her knickers.
She aims it at the creature's head
And bang bang bang, she shoots him dead.
A few weeks later, in the wood,
I came across Miss Riding Hood.
But what a change! No cloak of red,
No silly hood upon her head.
She said, ``Hello, and do please note
My lovely furry wolfskin coat.''

The WOLF may respond by saying something like "Brushing my teeth," or "washing my hands," or "combing my hair," and so forth...BUT, if the WOLF replies with "CHASING YOU!"

History of Wolves
Why are Wolves Endangered?
- The Great American Wolf
- After the French and Indian War, Wolf pelts were in fashion for winter coats and the skin was used to make shoes. As a result, between 1780 and 1799, 330,000 wolves were killed in North America. This was the greatest number of wolves killed in this short of time on the continent.
Wolves had already virtually disappeared east of the Mississippi.
After 1800, wolf pelts became practically worthless. - Wolf History - Eradication of the Wolves
- The change from a hunter/gatherer way of life to one based on farming and herding started about 12,000 years ago, and since then wolves and humans have been colliding in many parts of the world.
In Europe, many forests were cut down during the Middle Ages to be replaced by forms and fields, and wolves lost their natural homes, driven to seek prey in human areas of habitation
Wolves are coming back...
Wolves are coming back and their numbers are increasing. Their encounters with humans are more frequent.
Many people may never have seen a wolf in real life but with the increase in populations and the reintroduction of the species in National Parks all around the country, wolves may soon be living in your neighborhood.
It's time to read and learn more about wolves.
Save the Wolves!
Sign the petition to Save America's Wolves.
America's wolves need our help!
America's wolves were nearly eradicated in the 20th century. Now, after a remarkable recovery in parts of the country, wolves are once more threatened.
In the Northern Rockies the federal government has put forth a proposal that could lead to the slaughter of hundreds of wolves in Idaho and Wyoming. Even Yellowstone wolves could be shot on site if they wander outside the park's boundaries!
In Alaska state officials continue to allow airborne gunners to kill hundreds of wolves. Easy targets against the snow, hundreds of wolves have been shot from above or chased to exhaustion and then killed by aerial gunners who land and execute them at point-blank range.
In the Southwest misinformation and anti-wolf sentiment runs high, with wolf recovery in Arizona and New Mexico limited to a defined area if the wolves set up territories elsewhere, they are captured and returned.
Defenders of Wildlife continues the fight to promote common sense wolf management, working with federal and state officials and private land-owners to ensure that science, not politics, guides decision-making about the future of these American icons.

Missoulian: Record numbers of wolves killed by wildlife agents in 2008
Posted on Dec. 14 - Record numbers of endangered gray wolves were shot this year by government wildlife agents and ranchers in the Northern Rockies, as the predator's attacks on livestock met with an increasingly aggressive response.
The Bush administration is poised to remove the region's estimated 1,500 wolves from the endangered species list as soon as this week. Environmentalists n who successfully fought to reverse a prior removal of endangered protections n are gearing up to again challenge the government in federal court.
But as jockeying over the animal's legal status continues, an Associated Press review shows more wolves killed in 2008 than at any time since they were reintroduced to the region more than a decade ago. - Gray wolves leave Wash for Mexico
- Six female Mexican gray wolves left Wolf Haven International, located north of Tenino, on two separate flights to Houston, Texas, and then onto a charter flight to Mexico.
Their final destination is a wolf facility called the Amigos Del Desierto De Coahuila.
"The goal is to breed these genetically rare females at the facility, depending on the needs of the program, in order to augment the population," said Wendy Spencer, animal curator at Wolf Haven.

Usually it is only the alpha male and alpha female of a given pack that will successfully mate, since the male discourage others in the pack from participating.

Isaboe says:
Yes they should be protected from the fat, old, ranchers that love to shoot things. They should realize that its the wolves' hunger that drives them to it. If there were more natural prey, That the same ranchers, hadnt killed the wolves would eat that. Yet they kill everything for fun and enjoyment. When will they learn that all life is sacred? Healthy wolves do not eat children!
*In northwestern MT this is the sad cause of wolf deaths.*

M_S_Beltran says:
It's not that I don't think they should be protected, but before we can stop any wolf population control in attempts to keep wolves from attacking people and decimating other animals in a region, we need to change how we live. If we were to truly let the wolves survive, we need to not only stop expanding our own territory, but maybe give back some of it to the wild.

Wolf Moon
The Full Moon of January
Native Americans call the full moon that rises in the cold January nights the Wolf Moon. It is a time of year with long cold nights when wolves can be heard howling and a time to tell stories of wolves around the fire. As the wolves return from extinction, will we again become afraid of them or will we begin to understand them better and appreciate wolves for the magnificent creatures that they are?
- New Wolf Moon from Stirring the Cauldron
- A Food Year in Moons: 2005 -- Stirring the Cauldron is a new moon newsletter from Jessica Prentice that explores food, seasonality, cooking, and culture.
- Full Moon Names and Their Meanings :: Farmers' Almanac
- Full Wolf Moon - January Amid the cold and deep snows of midwinter, the wolf packs howled hungrily outside Indian villages. Thus, the name for January's full Moon. Sometimes it was also referred to as the Old Moon, or the Moon After Yule. Some called it the Full Snow Moon, but most tribes applied that name to the next Moon.
Wolf Days - February 2-3
- Holidays in the Eastern Orthodox Church
- The two days after the St. Triphon's Day, the Wolf Days, are of a special nature - the traditional belief is that "wolves are raging" in that period and therefore have to be paid homage to. In order to be preserved by the wolves, people (especially women) should follow some strict restrictions - not to spin, or weave, or knit, or open scizzors, so that wolves would not open their mouths. Ritual bread is given away and some of it is also put in the cattle's food so that they could be preserved from the dangerous beasts as well. The bread-troughs stay closed for 3 days, yards should not be cleaned and litter should not be thrown away.
The next day is known as SEEDS' DAY, also called "Holy Mother Day". On this day if a woman wants to give birth to a child, she stands at a crossroads and hands out "a pinched bread".

- Irish wolf

Wolves' Christmas Tales
Wolves are an important character in the stories of many different cultures throughout the world. In this story you will learn about the Mexican Wolves of Arizona and the Native Americans who live in that region.
As you read the story, think about how it compares to the other stories that you have read about wolves. How much of the story is fact and how much is fiction? Make up stories about what might happen to the wolves in this story during the following year. Research facts about Mexican Wolves and find ways to include that information into your stories.
Little Wolf's Christmas
This book is a wonderfully written classic Christmas story told from the perspective of a wolf family. The illustrations are captivating and the writing is what my second graders describe as "spicy". The writing lends itself to having discussions with your children about the Native American culture as well as the Mexican Gray Wolf species. The classic story of Jesus' birth is intertwined with a rich history of Native Americans and wolves, and how this special day affected each of them and will for generations to come. This story not only shares a wonderful story but teaches an important lesson that we all have special gifts to share. By Christine Wagstaff
