Call of the Wild (American Classics) - Softcover

"The Call of the Wild in traditional novel form by Jack London is a favorite classic for young and old alike. You will love reading this with your young children who already adore animals and will be eager to read about these in this amazing outdoors story of life in Alaska/Yukon. I visited Jack London's home in Dawson City and even saw his meat locker, which was a little wood house on stilts which animals could not reach. Entice your child's interest in the wilds of nature and the colder regions of the North America. Great book!"--Bonnie Neely "Real Travel Adventures "
