“Detwiler invokes just the right amount of romanticism: her wolves tussle in the purple rays of a frigid sunrise and dance, silhouetted, in the falling shadows of twilight—but they’re always unmistakably wild. Readers should be captivated by the animals’ resilient joie de vivre as well as by their habitats’ seasonal glories.” – Publishers Weekly

“Sylvan Dell hits a home run with another special book for kids.” – Armchair Interviews

“Besides the knowledge concerning wolves, additional benefits for very young children in having this book read to them are counting from one to twelve and becoming familiar with the months of the year. One Wolf Howls will delight all youngsters, especially those who like to learn about nature.” –Stories for Children Magazine
