2. Is Seton a better writer when he describes small animals or when he describes larger ones? Is it more difficult to identify with rabbits than with wolves?

3. Does Seton prove his point when he stresses the intelligence of crows? What makes Silverspot a leader of his flock?

4. Are the people who appear in Seton's stories as well drawn as his animals?

5. Both Lobo and the Pacing Mustang are featured in stories with the old West as a background. Are these typical western stories?

6. Seton is the narrator in all of these stories and is a character in some of them. How does he present himself?
