High on the hillOn a velvet nighWhile the moon is risingSeven wolves watch.The seven wolves watching on the hilltop are awaiting the birth of four wolf pups. The pups spend their first few days with their mother in the warm, dark den before venturing out into the world. There they meet and bond with the other wolves in the pack and explore their new surroundings. They also meet with danger; in a dramatic climax, one of the pups is attacked by an eagle and rescued by his father.In spare yet lyrical text and vivid paintings, this picture book offers an intimate and affectionate look at a fascinating animal. Kay Winters's meticulous research provides a mine of information about the lives and social behavior of wolves, and Laura Regan's oil and gouache paintings, with their exquisite detail and rich color, bring the wolf rack and their forest home to life.
