Yes, I am still reviewing wolf non-fiction for young readers. I love consuming any wolf media including these. They're always fun to review and look at even if they're usually not very elaborate.
In this book, Albertson briefly tells the young audience facts about wolves, such as how they live, where they are found and what/how they hunt.
It's a very brief book. Like, not a lot of pages and most of it is taken up by photos. However, I really liked the layout of the book. It looked playful and colorful and the big text and many photos make it look very engaging for the younger readers.
The text is big and while few information is given, the information is up-to-date with wolf knowledge, so no alpha-theory bullshit or the like. There's just...not a lot of information here outside of the very bare bones basics regarding wolves so if you want your child to learn more about them I can recommend picking up books for slightly older readers that have more information. Even if there's too much text for the children themselves to read you can probably read it to them to elaborate on what is shown and told here, since it's very basic stuff.
Another minor fault I spotted (that may be exclusive to the Dutch translated edition) was a mislabeling of an animal, where they labeled an elk as a wild boar. I don't know if this is present in the original English release or is just something that happened in the process of translating it, but it was pretty funny. It's not a mistake they usually make when translating elk to Dutch, where they'll usually (wrongly) refer to it as a red deer, this is just blatantly a completely different animal.
So, yeah, very brief and not super elaborate, but it is a good introduction for (very) young readers to the species with accurate information and beautiful photos.
