This is a loaded book discussing one species of wolf, and how biologists are fighting to preserve it. In the story, they chronicle historically how the image of the wolf over time has been wholly negative, which effects the survival of the species. Many wolfs are being killed off by humans, destroying the ecological environment and effecting the food chain. The story is non-fiction, and shows how these biologists are active in working to preserve wolfs and change their image in popular culture. I think this story is appealing to students who might prefer a more non-fiction, scientific style. Furthermore, it shows activism of a different kind, in which people who are passionate about a certain issue fight for change. I believe it's a great example of activism that also introduces the issue of animal rights and preservation.
Stylistically, the images in the book are all photographs, with text throughout the pages. Photography in books is something we have not touched on in class, but I find that children often love looking at real photographs, especially wildlife. It is probably a story for about a fifth grade audience.
