This is another book I found in the Loussac Library in Anchorage this summer. And since there is a love interest, I figured it would be a good book for Valentine's week.
Jon Van Zyle has been the official artist of the Iditarod since 1979, so he is pretty well experienced in drawing Alaskan landscapes and dogs. The storyline itself is pretty straightforward. I mean, it is about wolves, so it is a little difficult to get in depth with characterization.
However, the pictures make this a stand out.
Grey Wolf is a little preoccupied. He has lost his mate to a man's steel trap.
oooh! I just love his art work. And poor old Grey wolf all alone under a super moon apparently.
Howling at the moon-- A wild untamed music.
Trying to catch dinner, but....
Shadows show that he is not alone.
The leader of the pack. AND his fur is black. I guess the black sheep is the one with the reputation, but a black wolf seems like a tough character.
And suddenly, grey wolf sees a white wolf. A white wolf who just happens to be looking for a mate.
When you are a wolf, dating isn't really a thing. You're single? Me too! Let's get together.
Wolves don't mess around with superfluous nonsense.
At the end of the book there is a page with information about wolves. This is the decreasing wolf range. Clearly wolves didn't like American settlers and all moved north. Or something....
