About this listen

More than half a century ago, the naturalist Farley Mowat accepted an assignment to investigate why wolves were killing Arctic caribou. Mowat’s account of the summer he lived in the frozen tundra alone – studying the wolf population and developing a deep affection for these wild creatures (who were no threat to caribou or man) – is today celebrated as a classic of nature writing, at once a tale of remarkable adventure and an indelible record of the myths and magic of wolves. Never Cry Wolf was made into a major motion picture by Walt Disney Productions.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Crazy and amazing!!! I was fascinated from beginning to END. I enjoyed learning about wolves from first hand account.

Wow!!!

Farley Mowat has married scientific research with rich prose. The story brought vivid colour and dimension to what we consider a wasteland of cold, lifeless expanse. There are many characters, mostly with four legs (and names!), and each one sheds light on the mystery of the wolf and it’s northern environment.
Adam Sims buoyant narration kept the story light and entertaining. He was a great choice.
I only wish the book was longer. I don’t know if I want more research story, or more character story - both I guess!
I listened to this audiobook with my twelve year old son on a road trip and it melted the time away - he loved it.

Excellent.

Story was awesome! The reader did a great job, but I can just imagine that Farley would have a dry time of voice that would be even more pleasing to the ear.

Farley is a winner!

I first had this book read out loud to me by my Grade 6 teacher. I remembered loving it and when my kids became interested in wolves after a visit to a wolf sanctuary, I bought this for us to listen to on the drive to the cottage. They loved it and I had forgotten how funny it was. Mowat is a great story teller and the narrator was quite good as well. I only wish more of Mowat's books were available (The Dog Who Wouldn't Be, would be a great start)

Great story for long summer roadtrips

I’ve consumed this book, in some form, many times. More than I can count, likely. No matter how many times I read these stories, the ending still breaks my heart. But each time, also, I fall more and more in love with the wolves, and Mowat himself. This book started my love for wolves when my mum read it to me as a child, and has continued it through my life. Farley Mowat is one of my favourite authors, and is definitely my favourite Canadian author, and an added bonus for me is that he was born and raised very close to my Ontario childhood home. Absolutely wonderful story, and no matter how many times I read or listen, I still hope for a different ending.

Beautiful, but sad
