The Girl and the Wolf
Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade
While picking berries with her mother, a little girl wanders too far into the woods. When she realizes she is lost, she begins to panic. A large grey wolf makes a sudden appearance between some distant trees. Using his sense of smell, he determines where she came from and decides to help her. Through a series of questions from the wolf, the little girl realizes she had the knowledge and skill to navigate herself--she just needed to remember that those abilities were there all along.

Starred Review
A tale about knowledge, power, and trust that reminds readers we used to speak with animals and still do—it already feels like a classic.

Review quotes

"What I like about this story so much is the way the wolf and girl demonstrate techniques for calming down to solve problems…The wolf also sets an example for parents; rather than solving the girl's problem for her, he provides support and assurance while encouraging her to apply her knowledge to a given situation."—Glass of Wine, Glass of Milk blog
