About Wolves
Parents need to know that the illustrations in this book are fascinating, as are the facts. However, both may scare more sensitive younger kids. Also, the main character, a book-reading rabbit, is humanized, then threatened by the carnivorous wolf. An alternative ending is offered that lightens the book up considerably.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about wolves, and the facts that are offered. They also can talk about the rabbit. Which seems more real? Can rabbits read? Do wolves eat rabbits? Do you think wolves can really be vegetarians? Which of the two endings do you like best? Also, parents should be ready to discuss predator/prey relationships natural to the world, and what they, and their kids, think about it.
