Here is the fascinating true story of the wolves who restored the
ecosystem at Yellowstone National Park, written by Catherine Barr
and illustrated by award-winner Jenni Desmond.
In the 1930s, the last wolves disappeared from Yellowstone National
Park.
Without them, elk herds overran the plains. Bears starved, rabbit
families shrunk, and birds flew away to new homes. Then plants and trees
started to die off, too-even the flow of rivers was affected.
Could the park be saved . . . by the wolves it had lost?
After years of planning, in 1995 a team of experts was ready to find
out. They carefully relocated fourteen wolves from the Canadian Rockies
to Yellowstone. This is the story of their homecoming.
Engaging, informative, and hopeful, The Wolves of Yellowstone shows us
that every creature plays a role in sustaining a thriving ecosystem.
