All summer Nell has been looking forward to an evening of howling for wolves with Uncle Walter. Now that the time is here, she's a little anxious. But the starry sky soon soothes her fears, and the evening unfolds with all the satisfaction of a wonderful wilderness experience. On each page, the colorful scratchboard illustrations tell two stories: that of Nell and Uncle Walter, and that of a wolf pack. The illustrations accurately depict wolf pack behavior and communication, and a nonfiction section provides facts about timber wolves.
