Dear Melanie,
Take a look at A Cultivated Wolf by Pascal Biet - I love it!
Also look at Kerenza Ghosh’s chapter in my book, Challenging and Controversial Picturebooks: Creative and Critical Responses to Visual Texts.(Routledge 2015). Her chapter, Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? Children's responses to the portrayal of wolves in picturebooks, includes a good overview of wolves in children’s literature - picturebooks in particular.
Hope this helps  and  good luck with your work.
Janet

Good morning all

As part of my dissertation on images of reading in picturebooks, I am looking at how animals (mainly wolves and bears) and monsters are used as marginalized beings which are transformed by reading and as a result become accepted members of society. However, I am struggling to find anything on the use of such characters in picturebooks as a metaphor for marginalisation. Does anyone of any sources that might help?

Many thanks in anticipation

Best wishes
