<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A sweet picture book about how dogs evolved from wolves to become man's best friend"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>With lyrical text by Kersten Hamilton and luminous illustrations by Jaime Kim, <i>First Friend </i>is an exploration of how the wild wolves became dogs, and how we learned to communicate and grow alongside the creatures we love.</b> <p/><i>Long, long ago, when the world was new. . .a girl met a pup.</i> <p/>In those days, everyone knew that wolves and children could not be friends. Still, they learned from each other--how to hunt, how to trade, how to survive, how to play. And years and <i>years </i>went by, and the world spun and changed. And then--a boy fished with a wolf, and a girl traded with a wild dog, and animal and human grew up side by side. . .into the best friends we are today.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Hamilton's repetitive story is simple but effective in conveying the evolution of wolves into dogs. Kids will love noticing the difference in the humans' lives as the years pass. . .Kim's watercolor, acrylic, and gouache artwork adds warmth and familiarity to the story with its friendly faces, guarded-then-playful pups, and use of vivid colors. . .A great story time choice for all libraries, perfect for launching discussions of fact and speculation, and how they can be combined." --<i>School Library Journal</i>, <b>starred review</b> <p/>"A lyrical exploration of how wolves evolved into dogs. . .Delightful--especially appealing for young readers who have or wish for a puppy.
