The animals discover the Good Woodsman injured inside his house and with no fire in his stove. Worrying that he will freeze, the animals are disheartened that they have no way to help him. Great Wolf knew only he could rescue the Good Woodsman. When Great Wolf's plan succeeds, the animals and the Good Woodsman invite the once-ostracized wolf to share Christmas dinner, and they realize that everyone has good things to offer if given the opportunity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eGreat Wolf and the Good Woodsman, \u003c\/i\u003e charmingly illustrated with hand-colored woodcuts by renowned artist Betsy Bowen, is a classic tale to be passed down and enjoyed by many generations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHelen Hoover (1910-1984) moved to the wilderness of northern Minnesota in the 1950s.
