If you have a love for dogs and funny books, then you are sure to enjoy the new book, Wolf Camp, by Andrea Zuill.
In Wolf Camp, you’re introduced to Homer, a dog that feels that he has a little bit of wolf in him. When Homer receives a flyer to attend Wolf Camp, he is determined to go. After his humans finally agree, his adventure begins.
Upon arriving at Wolf Camp, he was greeted by his two counselors (Fang and Grrr) and introduced to his fellow campers, Trixie and Rex. After the introductions, they participate in a variety of different wolf activities, including mark, howl and track.
After the tracking exercise, Homer starts to get a little homesick. The food isn’t very good (it has hair in it), and everything is much different from how he lives at home (he had to sleep outside).
Overtime though, Homer learns to love Wolf Camp and is a little sad when the time arrives to head home.
When Homer does arrive home, he is of course over-the-moon excited to see his humans and had to admit that he had changed just a little..he wasn’t just plain ole’ Homer anymore.
The story and illustrations of Wolf Camp, left my five and nine-year old laughing out loud. This is a book, we highly recommend.
