(3) K-3 Talbott's fanciful origin story imagines how the relationship between humans and wolves developed. A wolf pup and a child, both orphaned, team up for mutual aid. Other outcasts see the advantages of teamwork and follow; over thousands of years, nomadic tribes become villagers, and wolves become dogs, adapting to humans' needs. Talbott's mixed-media art includes some sweet moments. An author's note about mythology is included. Reading list, websites.
