Primary. This book has an introduction where the author talks about the life of St. Francis. The main part of the book is speaking his prayer and those acts being demonstrate by a wolf with other animals. I may not use this in an actual classroom lesson, but it will be good for my students to see many options of books that represent wide ranges of faith and beliefs.
The character in it can talk makes the story becomes a fantasy. It is a well-illustrated and meaningful book for children. It is suitable for both young children and older children. It can be used in literature and reading classes.
