A pack is a wolf's best protection. That's the lesson learned the hard way by Meet the Wolf Family's protagonist, a young wolf who gets into quite a mess after straying from his pack - not once, but twice! This exciting book follows the journey of a lost wolf trying to find back to his pack.

Meet the Wolf Family sheds light on the life of the wolf, pack hierarchy and how the wolf does - or doesn't - get along with other animals. The book explains how pack members work together to find food and the difficulties of the wolf's life. The illustrations are a crowning glory: stunning wildlife photographs are guaranteed to catch the eye.

This easy-to-read book will be enjoyed by the youngest members of the family as well as those a little older.

The narrative gives space for the pictures to tell their own story, and the reader gets to experience situations that could be difficult to believe without the evidence of their own eyes.
