Approaches:
It is quite a difficult story in that the level of the language in it is high so the children will need a lot of support. I would start off by reading it and giving them the challenge of keeping a tally of how many times "loup" and "lapin" get a mention on each double page whilst trying to work out what is happening. I would use targeted questioning in English to check comprehension of each stage of the story.

Rationale:
It is so much more than just a story in French: it is a story about friendship, about being different, about fear and about looking for your own identity.
Outcomes:
The children will realise that they don't need to understand a lot in French to be able to work out what a text is about.
If you have a visualiser, you can do some great work on cognates in this story.
Topics or themes:
It could help reinforce hobbies; you may do a series of stories about how wolves are portrayed in children's literature.
