Wolf in the Snow by American author/illustrator Matthew Cordell tells the story of a small girl coming across a young wolf while lost in the snow. There is tension, suspense, and a fitting resolution AND it is all told through images with only a few supporting words. How can a wordless book help teach writing? Take a look at this book and you will soon find out! Firstly, this text shows the importance of finding a simple IDEA to focus on. The storyline creates great suspense through the provision of just the right amount of detail. ORGANISATION is another feature of this text; a lead is created, the body is structured in a way that we get information from both sides of the story and a resolution is provided. This would be an excellent text to use with a story plot map and to visually discuss problem/resolution. Product Category: Children's / Teenage Artist/Author: Matthew Cordell
