"This is a nice picture book with some interesting concepts. At first you think it’s just a book about wolves, and then when you get into it in more detail there is rewilding and important points about ecology and why predators matter and so on. You get absolute nitty gritty detail about the original 14 wolves and it’s got facts that you can then go and research. It’s about how the ecosystem works, and it brings you nice starting points that form the basis of going further into discussion. And it has some lovely illustrations. I think it appeals to a wide age range because, as you say, it can be almost a storybook where you look at the pictures, but my son in his mid-20s identified it as his favourite book of them all. I don’t think you can put an upper age limit on any of these books."
