Welcome to Litsy!

It's a wordless book, aside from onomatopoeias.

This book is good for independent reading (no words), but you could make a read-aloud work too, (maybe). I think most kids will enjoy the content (friendship with/helping out an animal).

A wordless book about a girl who helps a wolf pup lost in the snow and gets some help in return. Very sweet. The personable illustrations tell the story perfectly- no words are needed anyway! The book describes itself as a “satisfying story about friendship and trust“.

although this book doesn‘t have any quotes, the visuals are able to show emotions of the characters. The illustrator uses different tones in the book to describe the girl and her feelings and the wolf‘s feelings. Because this book does not have texted, allows the illustrations to really come to life and share the story.

Westberg teachers a great lesson of compassion. It highlight how kindness can be a bridge and can foster a new relationships and respect. This book also teaches children the beauty of being outside your comfort zone and being an unexpected situation.

this book your story of a young girl who gets lost with snowstorm and faces a wolf creating an unexpected bond. This book shows the beauty of a snowy landscape and really describes the emotions of the characters.

This book is very interesting as it has no words. It still conveys the message of compassion in a very unique way. I enjoyed this book and think it could be great for certain classrooms but some groups of students may find it boring.

Caldecott winner

“Hooooowwwwwwlllllll“

This book allows for creativity and using your imagination! An idea for an activity could be for students to draw what they think the next page would look like if the story kept going.

The interesting thing about this book is that there are hardly any words. I like this because it allows for a class discussion about what we think is happening in the story. This is a great book with great illustrations.

“Sink…whine, whine.”

This book could be used to allow students to use their imagination to come up with text for the book. Students could come up with the text on sticky note using full sentences and the teacher would use them to read the story again with their input.

Week 1: Caldecott Winner! This book takes telling a story through illustration to a whole new level. With limited words it shows how teamwork and kindness between a fox and a human will always bring you back to your family. Overall, great book. Published in 2017.

The almost wordless book describes the journey of when a wolf cub and a little girl are lost in a snowstorm they must find their way home.

A book that tells you that sometimes things that seem scary can be just what you need.

This book tells the story of an unlikely friendship between a young girl and a lost wolf pup. They are sweet of each other but come to find ways to help one another.

A beautiful book about a lost wolf pup and a little bit of kindness.

I like this book and it would be great to have in my classroom library during the winter months or even for when we are learning about different regions of weather/animals but I cannot see myself doing a read aloud with this book.

Wolf in the snow was published in 2017. This story uses little words and ink pen with water color to tell the story of a young girl who sees wolves on her walk home from school. The harshness of lines depicts the dangerous nature of wolves and the girls soft lines express her naïveté regarding the wolves. But in the end both the wolves and the girl help each other.

This is a perfect book to introduce story telling and making your own stories. Could get the students excited about making their own story and also could have them help you read the story together

Wolf in the snow published in 2017 was a different read than most picture books I‘ve read. There were no words which let your mind run and tell the story to yourself. It was a very cute book and the illustrations made it easy for your mind to understand the reason for the book

This RF Caldecott Medal book would be a great IR for all students, including ESOL students, with almost no words on the pages. It illustrates a girl getting lost and a wolf getting lost, and they find each other, and the girl helps the wolf, carrying him through the snow. The girl reunites the wolf with his pack and then the wolf pack helps her family find her. I think it‘s a super sweet story to teach kids about helping one another.

The Wolf in the Snow tells the story of a young child and a wolf pup as they come together to help find each other's families. The inclusion of only sounds and exclamation points

This book won a Caldecott Medal award for its amazing illustrations that you can actually feel strong emotions from without any text. The unique style would be good to show children there are many different types of arts and aesthetics.

I would use this book in my future classroom because children would really engage with the heartwarming story with a cute animal.

“Bark, bark, bark“

“Bark, bark, bark“

I would use this in my classroom to teach my students about friendship

This award winner is a heartwarming story that students will be emotionally attached too. The illustrations have good detail and use a unique technique.

Review: Wolf in the Snow by Matthew Cordell, 2017, is a Caldecott Award winner about a young girl and a wolf that get lost in the snow and their journey together.
Blurb: This book solely relies on its illustrations to tell the story, because there are no words! But it does a great job, the story is very touching and keeps you engaged the whole time.

A book with almost no words still manages to convey it's message and I think that's really cool.

Wolf in the Snow written by Matthew Cordell and won the Caldecott award in 2018. This book is interesting because it has almost no words in it, but I think that's a perfect example of why it won the Caldecott, the pictures tell the story. It's so interesting to read through and have the illustrations that are also so simple convey a really heart warming story of a wolf and a girl bonding and connecting.

This book is a Caldecott winning book. It is about a girl who finds a lost wolf and finds the wolf's family, but then she is lost so the wolf pack keeps her warm and helps her find her family,

I wouldn't use this book in my classroom, just because there is limited words. I would have it as a silent read for kindergarten or first grade, because they can make up their own words and use their imagination.

“Bark, Bark, Bark“

“Bark, bark, bark” There wasn‘t very many lines in this book but this one means a lot because it was the start of the whole story.

I would read this book for kindergarteners or 1st grade. This book is suitable for young kids. Its a cute story with all pictures for kids. It would be a good story to try to think of what is happening in the story without any words.
