Hi, friends. Here’s a book that’s fitting for winter, especially if you’re a fan of huskies and malamutes. It’s The Dog in Wolf’s Clothing by Pam Atherstone.
It’s about a little girl who’s terrified of wolves. Her uncle stops by with his sled dogs, and one of them has a cut paw. She’s scared of the dog at first, as he looks like a wolf. However, after interacting with him, she sees him as a gentle creature.
Kindergarteners through first graders can easily follow the story, and the illustrations are vibrant and welcoming to both a child and an animal-lover. In one picture, where the girl and the dog hang out in the snow, the dog’s smile is a little human with its curved-up corners, yet it’s cute.
You can get your copy through these stores:
And don’t forget my dog-sled tale for middle graders: The Galdur Snow Dog. You can learn more here:
