Runt

By Marion Dane Bauer

Reviewed by Michael R.

Runt is a wolf pup that is the small one in his litter. He thinks he knows everything about the forest but he doesn’t. One time he went out in the woods with his brother named Thinker. He is the smart one. When Thinker said to get away from a porcupine he went tored it instead and what happened? Read it to find out. It shows that he is not smart. After meeting the porcupine he meets humans and since they were nice to him he now thinks that they are all kind to wolves.

I loved this book. I didn’t want to put it down. The reason I picked up this book is because I saw the cover and I read the summary and I just had to read this for my review. I love most animal stories and this was one of them. If you are looking for a book to read for any purpose this is a good choice! I recommend this book for ages 8-13.
