WOLVES

photo by Alison Womack Chestatee Wildlife Preserve

From a mom in Minnesota:
My 10-year-old son just LOVES it. I had to pull him away from it to get him to school one morning. The illustrations are beautiful and he just loves the interactive portions, along with the pop-out wolf head!

Robyn has volunteered with two gray wolves at the Chestatee Wildlife Preserve, Juno and Luna, since they were little pups. Scroll down to watch them grow up!

Juno and Luna, four weeks old in this picture, were born at the Chestatee Wildlife Preserve in Dahlonega, Ga., in April 2008.

Scroll down (& keep scrolling...) to see how quickly wolf pups grow.
