Books with title Little Foxes

Little Fox likes to climb--and jump--and ride. Not on his chair. It's too small and too soft. Not on Father's chair. It's too big and too hard. But Mother's chair is just right. ""That chair is going to break!"" warns Mother. And one day, that's just what happens. Poor Little Fox. He didn't mean to break it. Poor Mother Fox. Where will she sit now? Father Fox has some suggestions, but it is Little Fox who comes up with a solution that's just right.

""Despite warnings, Little Fox thinks his mother's chair is 'just right' for climbing, jumping on, and riding. Finally, it breaks, and his mother has nowhere to sit...Little Fox and Father repair the old chair, which turns out to be 'just right' for cuddling and reading. A situation that most preschoolers can relate to."" (School Library Journal) ""Janovitz's airy, pastel, pencil-and-watercolor illustrations, sparked with intricate textures and detail, portray the endearing fox family in both home and store environments. Told in simple, gentle prose, this tale of consequences and making things right also conveys the ideas that favorite things can't be easily replaced, new isn't always better, and people and objects need to be treated respectfully and with care.""

Good parents everywhere know the tension of wanting our kids to be curious, to have rich experiences and friends...but to be perfectly safe while doing it. Little Fox knows all about it! His father warns him of the danger everywhere. But Little Fox still frolics with butterflies, scavenges for food, and searches for new friends. Then one day he takes a tumble, bumps his head, and starts dreaming of things that reflect both the beauty he's seen and the scary things he's heard. And when Little Fox wakes up, he's perhaps a little wiser, but still every bit as curious and full of life.

Good parents everywhere know the tension of wanting our kids to be curious, to have rich experiences and friends…but to be perfectly safe while doing it. Little Fox knows all about it! His father (in classic picture book fashion) warns him of the danger everywhere. But Little Fox still frolics with butterflies, scavenges for food, and searches for new friends. Then one day he takes a tumble, bumps his head, and starts dreaming of things that reflect both the beauty he’s seen and the scary things he's heard.Marije Tolman's ingenious illustrations use a fresh technique that feels like a movie and a dream, starring the cheerful, bright orange Little Fox on grainy mixed media landscapes of blue and green. And when Little Fox wakes up, he's perhaps a little wiser, but still every bit as curious and full of life.Praise for Little Fox★ "A beautiful, fully realized dreamscape. A tender, brilliant tour de force from the Netherlands."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
