Gr 3 Up–Barr’s book takes on the dramatic story of the wolf packs in Yellowstone National Park. The book gives a detailed account of how the wolves were killed to near extinction in the park, the repercussions in the ecosystem of the park, how the wolves were reintroduced, and finally how the park benefitted from that. Barr describes the conflict between conservationists and those who live around the park, and includes information on other endangered species around the world that were brought back from extinction by similar reintroduction efforts. The book is brilliantly illustrated with detailed watercolor pictures. Descriptions draw readers into the setting, where they will learn all about the biodiversity of Yellowstone National Park and what scientists have learned about the ecosystem.
VERDICT With eye-catching pictures and easy-to-read language, this is a great addition to the shelves.
