When the Wolves Returned

When the Wolves Returned by Dorothy Hinshaw Patent

This is the story of how the wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park.  The author explains how the killing off of the wolf population changed the natural balance of life in Yellowstone and how bringing the wolf back has brought back the natural equilibrium.  Actual photographs are used and text is both simple and complex.  On the left page there is a text box with a sentence or two and then more detailed information in a paragraph on the right page.

My Thoughts - I enjoyed this non-fiction book!  The photographs were fabulous!  The narrative is written clearly and simlpy for children of many ages to understand.
