The Seasons of Little Wolf

By Jonathan London and Jon Van Zyle

Little Wolf, pup of Gray Wolf and White Wolf, bounds into the world and through the seasons in this new children’s picture book. Inside the safety of the den, through fields of wildflowers, and in birch shimmering in an autumn moon’s glow, Van Zyle’s paintings depict Little Wolf’s adventures through a variety of perspectives from close-up portraits to sweeping action scenes. Jonathan London’s lyrical prose imparts a wisdom to the text, endearing the reader to the pup and creating a suspenseful read-aloud.

Reviews for The Seasons of Little Wolf

[ebarclift13 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This is a realistic fiction story about a young wolf. This wolf first opens up it's eyes then begins to move outside of the den where it has been living. The young wolf seeks out "play" with it's siblings and receives food from it's mother. The young wolf experiences its first big hunt and is injured by it's prey. However, it wakes up and seeks to have a good hunt in the mountains where it calls home.

There are some nice moments of the day-to-day life of wolf pups, but the prose is overwrought even in those small moments, and goes way over the top when a little dramatic moment is thrown in at the end to make it seem like there is a story. The art is fine when it comes to the animals, but the artistic license taken with the size and color of the moon is just whackadoodle.But wait? This is a sequel to the book I randomly chose to read next in the wolf picture book project, The Eyes of Gray Wolf? I did not know that going in.
