Wolf Books & Movies for Kids & Teens

My daughter loves wolves, wants to be a wolf, wants to work with wolves, has a wolf spirit animal and so forth. So I wanted to find some good wolf-themed books and movies for her. Thanks to a Goodreads list, a Facebook group, and Amazon's search feature for age and even exact animal, I was able to find a lot of great stuff! The most popular ones are in bold.

After I created this page, I learned how to create a Goodreads list for the books, so I did that too. If you have any others to suggest, let me know in the comments!

NOTE that these lists do NOT include gothic tales of werewolves.
