Meet the Grey Wolf Level 12-14

Meet the Grey Wolf invites readers to explore the life and struggles of the endangered grey wolf. With engaging humour and fascinating facts, the author challenges common myths while educating readers on the grey wolf's habitat, behaviour, and conservation status. This book features historical and comparative maps, labelled images, and bulleted facts to support comprehension. It expands on the themes in Helping Planet Earth (pages 10-11) by showing the role humans can play in protecting vulnerable species. Vocabulary development is supported through the use of compound words (grandma, eyesight), contractions, varied word endings, and initial blends.
