Fox fans will adore this new photo study of these charming animals. Gardner’s text for reading aloud is composed of simple, short sentences that tag onto the title, inviting readers to look around the natural world for a fox. Longer paragraphs in a smaller font add more information about the lives and habits of these animals with explanations of where and when you’ll see them. Do foxes hibernate? What do they look like? Where do they den? All these questions are answered.
The text is secondary to the lush photographs showing foxes playing in a field, peering out from a den, or wandering through the city. There are other animals and landscapes pictured as well, the golds of a fall scene, a sleek otter, and a v of geese flying across the sky.
Verdict: While the text is not particularly memorable, the photographs are eye-catching and this would be a great choice for a classroom text or small storytime group that can pore over every detail. Recommended.
