"Joyful ode to reading...quirky, playful sketches to complement the author's engaging prose. Passionate and witty." — Booklist First published in 1992, Daniel Pennac's quirky ode to reading has sold more than a million copies in his native France. Drawing on his experiences as a child, a parent, and an inner-city teacher in Paris, the author reflects on the power of story and reminds us of our right to read anything, anywhere, anytime, so long as we are enjoying ourselves. In this translation with a foreword and illustrations by Quentin Blake, here is a guide to reading unlike any other: fresh, sympathetic, and never didactic, it is a work of literature in its own right.

Knižka pre deti a možno aj dospelých, Vlčie oko známeho farncúzskeho spisovateľa Daniela Pennaca v kvalitnom preklade Beaty Panákovej predstavuje krehký a poeticko-magický príbeh o stretnutí a „rozhovore“ chlapca a vlka. Už začiatok príbehu vťahuje čitateľa do deje, no nie použitím akčných a dramatických scén, ale naopak istým pokojom, ktorý však v sebe ukrýva tajomstvo.
