When a wolf pack observes a human village around Christmastime, the music they hear inspires the pack to sing along. The wolf narrator charitably concludes, "Even if they are dangerous, they are animals, just like we are." Both the text and the felt-marker illustrations offer details of wolf behavior, making this exuberant, humorous wolf's-eye view all the more effective.
