The Moon of the Gray Wolves

by Jean Craighead George Narrated by Barbara Caruso

Overview

It is November, and for the gray wolves of the Toklat Pass in Alaska, the hunt is on. It is time to harvest the sickly, weak, or old caribou as the herd migrates through the pass. It is also a time to test the survival skills of the young wolf pups. In Thirteen Moons-a spellbinding wildlife series-Newbery Award-winning author Jean Craighead George has captured thirteen North American animals in their natural environments and chronicled their fight for survival. From the lush Florida Everglades to the fertile Canadian east, this series explores the intricate relationships among animals, plants, and the ever-changing environment in which they live. A favorite of adults and children alike, George's entertaining and educational tales of nature alive and in action-Julie, Shark Beneath the Reef and Julie of the Wolves -have thrilled listeners for a generation. Barbara Caruso's inspired narration captures the vitality and harsh reality of life on the hunt.

Editorial Reviews

School Library Journal

Gr 3-6-- Initially published in the late '60s, this title offers an informative anthropomorphized glimpse into the habitat, mating, hunting, and other survival instincts of wolves. George's original text remains basically unchanged; however, the new edition offers an index, a bibliography (including two other related George titles), and a greatly improved presentation. The leading is plentiful, which helps to create a readable, inviting look. Catalano's impressive illustrations, executed in acrylics, tempera, and pastels, greatly enhance the story of the wolf pack's November hunt for caribou. This version is more suitable than the original for report information, and it should appeal those who may not be initially motivated to read about such subjects on their own. --J. J.
