Why read it?
1 author picked Wild as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A classic raised-by-wolves (and birds and bears and foxes) tale, this delightful book describes what happens when you try to tame a wild spirit.
While I’ve never personally caught a salmon with my teeth (though my daughters and I love to pretend that we can!), I completely identify with the main character’s longing to be outdoors in nature as much of the time as possible. Emily Hughes’ lovely illustrations are full of energy (check out her other wonderful nature-themed book The Little Gardener, too).
From Danica's list on playing in nature.
