Our school library is filled with wonderful books, but there is not always a selection of recent releases or books relevant to our current unit of study. Our class favorite was \"Wolf Called Wander; \" it is an adventure story written from the perspective of a wolf who is trying to survive on his own. This novel lead students to a greater curiosity about wolves and inspired a research project about endangered animals, where students had the opportunity to make their own books. Additionally, we found a reserve with live feeds where we could watch gray wolves who had been rescued. I love that these books allowed us an opportunity to learn together, inspire us, and develop my students' ability to listen to a narrative for extended periods of time.
