The Fox and the Forest Fire by Danny Popovici - OPTIONAL

The Fox and the Forest Fire by Danny Popovici.
PICTURE BOOK. Chronicle, 2021. $18. 9781797202822 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

A boy and his mother have moved to a new home in a forest and the boy struggles to adapt. Then one day fire comes to the forest, chasing the family and the forest creatures away. It will take time rebuild, but the family and the forest will recover. 

I found the title of the book to be misleading – while the fox is there, this is certainly not a story about the fox. The story works just fine, but doesn’t hold up to the promise.
