    This book is a great wordless picture book about a girl that helps a wolf find his pack but gets lost on her way. The pack repays her by helping her find her mother. This is a great book to introduce kindness and works for students in any grade.

    A girl gets lost in the woods during a snow storm and a wolf pup gets separated from its pack. The girl stumbles upon the pup and hears the pack howling in the distance and is resolved to return him to his home. She successfully returns the pup to its mama but she is so cold that she can't really go on. The pack instead of leaving on their business decides to shelter her to keep her warm, until her pack is able to retrieve her.

    I love the wordless story and the illustrations of this book, about a little girl and a wolf pup who both get lost in a snow storm.

    This picture book has no text. The illustrations shows a girl going to school, and getting lost in her way back home. There’s a snow storm and she finds a baby wolf also lost. She helps him find his family, but she couldn’t find hers. She was so tried and almost freezing when she felt. The baby wolf’s family took care of her until her family was able to find her with the help of the wolfs.

    Beautifully illustrated and winner of the 2018 Caldecott medal, this nearly wordless book depicts a young girl and young wolf pup lost in the snow. The girl helps the pup find its home. The wolves help the young girl find hers. The only words are animal sounds.

    Wolf in the Snow is largely devoid of words. It tells the story of a little person who ventures out into the snow on her way home from school. She encounters a wolf pup who seems to be lost and helps to shelter it and protect it from other dangers. After the adult wolves find the two of them, the little person works to get home but is unsuccessful. The wolves begin to howl, helping her parents find them. It's a story of connectedness, how to look out for others, friendship, and straight up smiles.

    Out for a walk on a snowy day, a young girl in a red jacket with a peaked hood becomes disoriented when the snow turns into a blizzard. She encounters a wolf cub who’s become separated from the pack. By following the howling of the pack, the girl returns the cub to its mother. In turn the wolves, by howling, alert the human search party to the girl’s location. With circumstances reminiscent of Blueberries for Sal and Henry the Explorer, Cordell has turned the story of Little Red Riding Hood from a cautionary tale into one of overcoming fear with compassion.

    A little girl on her way home from school and a young wolf cub who lags behind his pack both find themselves lost in the snow in this mostly wordless picture-book from Matthew Cordell, eventually finding one another in the storm. When the wolf cub can no longer walk, sinking helplessly into the snow, the girl carries him in her arms, restoring him to his mother. When she herself becomes too tired to go on, the wolves' howling alerts her dog and parents, out searching for her, to her location.A sweet tale of cross-species understanding and mutual aid, Wolf In the Snow is told almost exclusively through Cordell's artwork, created using pen and ink and watercolor. There are a few sound words - barking and howling, to be precise - but the humans, whether author/artist or characters, remain silent. As someone who loves winter vistas, I found the illustrations here appealing, and found the girl's bright red parka - a reference to Little Red Riding Hood, perhaps? - a particularly nice touch. Recommended to anyone looking for new winter stories for children, as well as to anyone searching for wordless picture-books.

    So ... the art is great and all. I'm also a fan of the wordless picture book, which this essentially is only with sound effects. But ...I'm bothered by anything that positively portrays taking in baby wild animals or touching wild animals in a non-fantasy setting. Too many wild animals end up dead or injured because of well-intended humans. Most wild animals that attack and get put down, do that because of mistakes humans make in interacting with them. Most of the humans that get hurt by wild animals, get hurt because they tried to interact with them as though they were a skittish pet.I'm sure the right grown-up could make that a part of the conversation about this book. It could even be a great discussion about how important it is not to "help" baby wild animals or feed them, because you can do great harm not meaning to. You could go into what a child should do if they find an injured or "lost" animal. But let's be real here, when animals die because of human mistakes, it's more often than not an adult who didn't know better.On a related note: DON'T FEED WILD ANIMALS. DON'T PET WILD ANIMALS. STAY A REASONABLE DIFFERENCE FROM WILD ANIMALS.

    A young girl finds a lost wolf cub late one winter afternoon and proceeds to make a some very foolish decisions in this wordless story (excepting some animal sounds). This might have worked for me better if the main character didn't look like a walking pup tent in her winter coat and if the happy ending didn't seem like such a reach.
