Verde’s narrative text is so inviting that readers will want to practice the wolf’s yoga and breathing patterns. After practicing his exercises with all three yogis, the wolf decisively finds his breath through yoga and learns how to control his anger. When the yogis notice the wolf’s frustration, they serenely respond, “Let’s meditate on that.” They teach him belly breathing, cooling breath, and other methods that help him, even if temporarily, to calm down and relax.
