Great Book!
While I actually am neither an avid animal lover nor a wolf enthusiast, I felt the need to write about the book, Kavika,Tales of a Timberwolf, by Michael T. Fisher. I am a middle school teacher and both the beautiful cover photograph and the straightforward writing style, drew me to this book as one that would appeal to my students. As I previewed the story I found it to be interesting, informative, and charmingly told. Personally I felt the love that the author had for his wolf hybrid mirrored that undying unconditional love of a parent to a child. The relationships within the family of wolf and dogs was also quite like the sibling relationships within a human family.
My students were captivated (even the reluctant readers). Our school librarian bought Kavika,Tales of a Timberwolf for our school library based on our recommendations. Kudos to Michael T. Fisher for sharing his story.
Kavika The King
I loved this book. However, I am also Kavika's Mother. I helped raise him with Michael for the first 6 years of his life. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of him or the other 3 members of our pack. For anyone that is considering taking on this major endeavor, please research first. We were very lucky with Kavika. He was very little problem considering his breed. If your are more attached to your furnature, yard,,,, etc, this animal is not for you. It takes someone who has a specific interest in wolves and their temperment to own one. They do not become your pet. You become part of their pack. Good Job Michael on a accurate account of Kavika.
