A toy fox is so happy with his little girl until the day the storm blows him away across the lake. Ojiisan finds the fox and gifts it to his granddaughter, but the fox needs care and mending. The seasons go by and it isn’t until fall comes again that the new girl gets the clue to the fox’s original owner.
I know adults will enjoy this charming picture book – especially those who have lost a childhood toy friend and wondered if they would ever see them again. Students might learn the lesson of the value of repairing a toy instead of throwing it away. Sato’s illustrations really shine as the standout here.
