”The Iron Wolf, the Iron WolfStands on the world with jagged fur.The rusty Moon rolls through the sky.The iron river cannot stir.The iron wind leaks out a cry”Animals of air, land and sea are brilliantly imagined in this perfect introduction for young readers to the work of Ted Hughes. Part of Hughes`s `Collected Animal Poems`, `The Iron Wolf` is for the youngest readers, both to listen to and explore themselves. Chris Riddell`s delightful line illustrations add to the journey of discovery.
