Jean Craighead George’s considerable expertise on wolf behavior comes into play in this wry, informative guide to the wolf’s domesticated descendant. From relatively simple interpretations of the ways dogs hold their tails and ears to more complicated understandings of how they read human body language, the text offers insight for anyone who comes into contact with canines. Sue Truesdell’s engaging line drawings of dogs are cleverly combined with photographs of Jean George interacting with the fictional animals. (Age 7 and older)
