Summary:
Wolf in the Snow is a wordless picture book that takes the reader on a journey with a young girl who finds a wolf in the snow and takes him back to find his mom. On her way back she runs into a few problems such as running into an angry raccoon, and the mom of the wolf. The mom of the wolf is angry, so the young girl drops the baby off and runs away. Eventually, she falls from exhaustion and being cold. The other wolves surround her, the baby one licks her, the rest begin to howl. The howling catches the attention of the young girl's parents who end up finding her in the snow. The book ends with the young girl back home with her parents by the fire.
I would use this book to go over sound words, onomatopoeias since those are the only words that are found in the book. I would use this book with lower elementary since it is mostly wordless and a lot of inferencing takes place but they are able to use their imagination with it.
