Spike,: The story of a whitetail deer, by Robert M. McClung

This amazing story of a deer, shows how hard it is to grow up in a forest where wild cats and
hunters are. Spike, a young deer, makes friends with a boy who helps him survive the winter.
Robert M. McClung does a very good job on this dangerous, exciting and sweet story.

Last of the wild : vanished and vanishing giants of the animal world by Robert M. McClung

Slightly out of date, it's still a good look at the large animals either extinct or threatened with extinction. I would recommend this to an advanced middle school reader who is interested in biology.
