A handsome reprint of a holiday classic North Woods fable of peace, joy and understanding for kids, featuring 30 hand-colored woodcuts by Betsy Bowen. In it the misunderstood wolf comes to the rescue (with the help of a dog) of an injured hunter in his cabin. The book closes with all the creatures -- the chipmunks, squirrels and chickadees and even the wolf -- invited by the thankful hunter to a Christmas feast. For ages seven and up (and a wonderful book to read aloud to youngsters). Originally published in 1967.  (GLK41, $14.95)
