(4) YA Whole Story series. Illustrated by Philippe Munch. London's classic novel, which follows a half-wolf dog from the wild to domesticity, is presented in an unabridged format, with supplemental facts, commentary, reproductions, and photographs crowding the margins. Although the auxiliary information may be helpful for students seeking background on the novel and its subject matter, it is also distracting and draws attention away from the story.

(4) YA Whole Story series. Illustrated by Philippe Munch. Copious notes about Shelley and about people, places, and things mentioned in the story fill the margins of this edition of the classic tale. Some of the information may help readers better understand the novel, but most of the annotations are superfluous and distracting. The volume is heavily illustrated with reproductions and original watercolors.
