Eye of the Wolf by Daniel Pennac

I have spent this morning reading the book 'Eye of the Wolf' and thoroughly enjoyed it!
It is a short book but is packed with rich descriptions and is thought-provoking, with issues which I could well imagine discussing and debating with the children. Indeed, the picture on the front cover (the transposed faces of Africa and the wolf) may be used to spark the children's imagination about the story and raise questions they would like to be answered by reading the text. I think I am tempted to describe the book as 'a story, within a story, woven into the narrative.'
