Little Fox in the Snow by Jonathan London - OPTIONAL

Little Fox in the Snow by Jonathan London, illustrated by Daniel Miyares. PICTURE BOOK. Candlewick Press, 2018. $17. 9780763688141.


BUYING ADVISORY: EL(K-3), EL - OPTIONAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW

A young fox spends the day exploring in the snow outside his burrow--chasing down meals, seeking out another fox, and even escaping a dangerous wolverine.

This is a book written in verse that is beautiful in its tone and illustrations. The words capture the quiet excitement of a fox's daily life and the illustrations are really gorgeous. That being said, this is not the sort of book young readers will likely enjoy. Adults nature lovers will likely find it appealing, but I doubt it will have a ready audience among kids.
