Wolf in the Snow: (Caldecott Medal Winner)

SO...it's my own fault that I did not heed the warnings of others that many books ordered from Amazon show up dirty, ripped, wrinkled and otherwise. This is a Christmas gift for a child and it arrived damaged. RIPPED and WRINKLED and DIRTY. The books content, ADORABLE!! Great little story about a girl befriending a wolf puppy. So I recommend the book with 5 STARS, but if you want to purchase it, buy it from another source other thanAmazon.

This book won the Caldecott and you don't need my review to convince you of its quality. What I can tell you is that I was completely intimidated by reading my three year old a wordless book. And I wasn't even sure if he'd like it, but he took to it immediately. We got it from the library and after we returned it he asked for it repeatedly so I bought it and I'm glad I did. He loves telling the story with me. I feel like there's even more we can do with it as he grows as a reader/writer. A wonderful addition to our library. P.S. Check out Matthew Cordell's Wish. We read Wish to our son on his birthday and on Mother's and Father's Day and cry every. single. time. It was the first book we ever read him; I'd packed it in my hospital bag and everything. I love Cordell's illustrations. He has big fans in our family.

I gave this to my daughter on her fourth birthday, as she likes to 'read' books to us now. The limited number of words makes this possible and I fell in love with the artistry and simplicity of the pictures. The first time we read the book, she buried her head in me and wept when the child did in the story saying, "It's just so sad, Mama!" (Be aware for super sensitive kids.) BUT, that didn't stop her from immediately reading it again with her big sister, or wanting to act out the story moments later, pretending to be a baby wolf herself. It's become a favorite in our rotation of kids' stories.

I guess that I should have been more thorough in my research, but I went on the stars and glowing reviews. There are no words in this book! This is strictly a picture book. My child likes to be read to. Yes, you can make up a story I suppose to go with each page, but that's not what I was hoping for when buying a new book. A total bust and waste of money for us. Went immediately into the donation bag.

The pictures are so wonderful that the story can just tell itself. I can ask my 3 year old what's happening and she can make up her own version, which is awesome! It supports her imagination and story telling. She justs sits and thumbs through the pages, howling and barking :)

This lovely book is a delight to read. The lack of words helps it to be a slightly different experience each time as my son and I discuss what is going on in the illustrations.

Supper cute story! Pictures are lovely and love that it's a picture story book that can be explained by kids in there own words

I cried at the end of this book. I can't say enough good things about it.I am currently developing my own body of work as an author/illustrator, and this book has been teaching me so much! Can't wait 'til his next book is released soon!

Wonderful picture book. Used this for my small class of autistic 11 year olds. Perfect for helping them to use and develop their language & story telling skills. They loved the stunning art work and the emotions the pictures display.

Bonita historia de relación niña-animal salvaje.

How a book without words can make you cry is beyond me but that is what happens. Simply exquisite

Love it
