\nStarred Review<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a wonderful first science book for little ones. The big, beautiful photographs, mostly of foxes in the wild, steal the show.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a short and simple text in big letters. It begins by talking about where you can look to find a fox. There\u2019s a paragraph in smaller text on most pages, giving some more background information.<\/p>\n

For example, after pages saying \u201cListen for yips, yowls, and growls,\u201d we\u2019ve got this text in a smaller font:<\/p>\n

Red foxes make a range of noises, though none of them sound much like a common dog\u2019s barking. Instead, foxes\u2019 high-pitched howls, chirps, and screams are more birdlike. . . . And sometimes, a fox can even sound like a person crying. Different calls are used when playing, or fighting, or when fox parents want to warn their babies of danger.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The photos are big, colorful, and striking. I am so taken with this book, I want to try it in Toddler Storytime, as I think the photos can catch even their attention. They will like the pages that tell you where not to look for a fox, and name the animals found in the sky, in the trees, in the river, and in the pond.<\/p>\n
