Picturebook. Wolf in the Snow is a wordless picture book by Matthew Cordell. In the book a wolf pup gets lost in the snow and a child finds the wolf and helps it return to it pack. the wolf pack then helps the child return to their family. The use of line and shape in this book is what really bring the book to life.

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.

EL strategy 6 monitoring students‘ comprehension and UDL strategy 3.3 guide information processing and visualizations works well for this book!

KeanaE It is so important to have books for English Language Learners (ELLs). The ELLs are now able to enjoy books like these alone as well know what is going on in the story because the lack of words. 3y
AndreaEfres Thank you Chase for being such an amazing peer! This book recommendation will definitely help me out in my own classroom. Reaching English Learners is so vital in all of our classroom, monitoring students‘ comprehension on a periodic basis is also a strategy I enjoy. 3y
DrSpalding While independent reading is important I also want you thinking about ways that books like this can be used in the content area. You have two snow related books that would work well in science content. Your universal design principle regarding visualization is especially helpful for Florida natives that may not get to experience snow often. ❄️ 3y

Awards: Caldecott (2018)
“Huff huff, whine whine” Wolf in the Snow is a beautifully illustrated story with no back and worth dialogue which makes it perfect for the storytelling (S) teaching strategy. 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

LauraLeighn provides a blank canvas on which students and teachers can create their interpretation. Many pages include landscapes and leave a lot up for the imagination, I think a teacher could easily implement the storytelling teaching strategy over this book. I think ESOL strategy 11. Place language in a meaningful context can be applied since the teacher is creating the oral story and are choosing what words will be said over which page. Making sure the 4y
LauraLeighn words are relevant but also level with the students' comprehension is very important when applying storytelling strategies. It is also important to take note of UDL (7.2)Optimize relevance, value,and authenticity, and be aware of how relevant and authentic the story is in relation to both the illustrations and the class. The website http://www.theclassroombookshelf.com/2017/04/wolf-in-the-snow/ published by Katie Cunningham on Classroom Bookshelf, 4y
LauraLeighn Lays out a lot of great storytelling techniques specific for this book and helps break it down for the best form for teaching it. This website also has additional links to enhance the lesson even further. #ucflae3414SU20 4y
DrSpalding This book screams creativity! I like the idea of storytelling and your reasoning as to why this would work well. You could provide the storytelling during a unit about the four seasons. 4y

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.

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.

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.

Wolf in the Snow, a MF picture book written and illustrated by Matthew Cordell, would be a great story to use for RT. This book tells the tale of a wolf and a young girl who each get lost in the snow. It is a Caldcott Award winner! (Cont.) #ucflae3414su19

galacticbees (Cont.) UDL Strategy 6.1 and ESOL strategy 2 would work best with this resource:
