The rusty Moon rolls through the sky.

The iron river cannot stir.

The iron wind leaks out a cry *

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.
