Sandra Markle hits another home run with this nonfiction book about the inner workings of a healthy wolf pack.  The illustrations by Alan Marks enhance the experience of this well written book.  This is a contemporary story told from a lone female wolf’s point of view, after being released and relocated by authorities.  She is confused and all alone as she ventures out into Yellowstone P ark looking for food to hunt.  She eventually finds some prey, becomes a confident hunter and becomes adept to her new environment.  Later she discovers another male wolf and quickly become mates.  They learn to hunt as a team and she gives birth to wolf pups!

The only downside to this beautifully written and illustrated book is the cheap binding.  The large stitched strong already shows through and it will be a matter of short time before it is worn out in a library setting.  Sigh.
