4.0 out of 5 stars
Beautiful little book, July 18, 2007
This review is from: Fox (Hardcover)
My son picked out this book at the library, and I was pleasantly surprised. If you've ever let a three year old choose his own books, you know it's a little like playing the lottery; very seldom do you get any return on the investment.
But Fox is beautifully illustrated and gently worded. The language is complex and rhythmic enough to satisfy us both, and the message is a nice one: parents protect you and teach you and let you be independent when you've learned enough to do so safely. In our generation of "helicopter parents" I think a few adults could benefit from this book!
My son and I are also always happy to see nursing references in a book (Fox is a mammal, mama!) and this book mentions it on the page following Fox's birth.
