The gray wolf was once a top predator in North America, revered by Native Americans. Once white settlers arrived, wolf populations fell dramatically. This book tells the story of the gray wolf's population plunge due to systematic killing programs, and its victorious rise thanks to conservation programs. Readers will learn about wolf adaptations and behavior, as well as its impact on its ecosystem. This book highlights the work of the Yellowstone Wolf Project to bring gray wolves back to Yellowstone National Park. Graphic organizers and brilliant photographs allow readers to deeply connect with the text. Readers will surely appreciate the resilience of the great gray wolf.

The bald eagle has been a national symbol of the United States for centuries. However, it wasn't long ago that eagle populations were plummeting to extinction. Years of hunting, trapping, and poisoning bald eagles put this regal raptor at risk. This book explores the story of the bald eagle, as it became endangered, and as conservation efforts worked to bring bald eagle numbers back up. Readers will enjoy striking photographs of the bald eagle, as well as graphic organizers that help demonstrate information in an accessible way. Readers are sure to come away with a deep understanding of the bald eagle's historic recovery-and why conservation is so important.
