Trade Review"Far from anthropomorphizing Coyote, the novel provides a cautious glimpse into the inner world of the coyote through Vistein’s captivating storytelling. This book should be on everyone’s “must-read” list, and would make an excellent read-aloud or novel study in an intermediate or middle school classroom." -- Kim Zumach - Green Teacher
"...A sensitive, passionate story told from an intriguing point of view." -- Kirkus
"This is not a book about “a species of animal” and what “it” does. Geri Vistein takes us so deep into Coyote’s skin and behind the eyes and nose that she reveals for us the intricacies and perceptions of creatures who lead lives among us. This is the right perspective for understanding who we are here with on Earth. Vistein has chosen one of the absolutely most wondrous fellow-creatures in America to make our introduction." -- Carl Safina, author of Beyond Words; What Animals Think and Feel
"This is a simple yet intricate case study, rather than more conventional animal fiction. Readers will come away with a genuine appreciation for these creatures and their role in nature. VERDICT This unique addition will serve students who are fascinated by wildlife and truly interested in understanding how ecosystems work." -- School Library Journal
