Eye of the Wolf

The more I read this book the more enchanted I become by it. There is something very powerful, particularly about the opening (the initial stand-off through the enclosure fence and the moment the boy covered one eye), and the wolf's story. What a clever idea that you can be drawn into the wolf's world through his eye, and what a beautiful world it is. Read aloud, it is captivating and naturally generates thought provoking questions and discussions. Strangely, I don't feel the same affinity with Africa's story. Although his journey was interesting I need to give more time to the meaning of the ending.
