FICTION, PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND STORY COLLECTIONS (top)

Novels and stories about wolves are forever popular. Some reflect the reality of how wolves live. In others, wolves take on human characteristics and feelings and forge connections with the people in the story. Some wolf fans think that is a disservice to the “real” wolf; others do not. We encourage readers to explore the world of wolves through fiction as well as non-fiction and to learn about these remarkable and resilient animals.

BOOKS AND STORIES FOR THE YOUNG – AND THE YOUNG AT HEART (top)

Guiding children’s reading is both a joy and a challenge for parents and for teachers. Many non-fiction books do an excellent job of making the facts about wolves interesting. In fictional stories and books, the characters and the plot are sometimes highly exaggerated. Many of these books are fun and funny and highly entertaining, especially when they are illuminated with art and illustrations. Some books and stories are anthropomorphic – that is, the animals display a broad range of human feelings and characteristics. Many adults say their lifelong interest in animals began with their connection to an animal character in a book.

Parents and teachers who want to foster a love of books in young children will start with read-aloud stories, many of which have survived for generations and which are included on this list. Some are considered classics, and several of the listed books are taught in schools as directed novels. Parents and teachers are encouraged to learn as much as they can about the “real” wolf so they can engage children and adolescents in discussions and conversations about wildlife and nature.
