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.JanetDr Janet EvansOn 3 Oct 2016, at 08:50, Mélanie McGilloway <[log in to unmask]> wrote:Good morning allAs 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 anticipationBest wishesMélanie McGilloway
