Varjak Paw comes to Brighton

My class of year 3, 4 children really loved that book - all of them were involved and keen to put their ideas into writing (which was far more lively and thoughtful than usual!). We read it over a three week period, and quite a few have now bought the sequel. I would never have chosen it myself, so many thanks for the introduction!!
I have mixed feelings about Eye of the Wolf. I feel that it could prove a rich source for philosophical discussion, an approach that my school is currently developing. I will be interested to see how accessible it will be for my year 3 children. Perhaps I am underestimating them!!
