A non-fiction book about life cycles - but specifically about the curious fox.
Although a non-fiction book, this is extremely charming, and you wish to look at it and read it multiple times.
It is nature-centred and realistic, and get does an excellent job of engaging the readers.

Fox is a beautiful book that explores the life cycle using a fox and her young cubs as the focus for developing young readers / learners understanding about life and death.

The world of the mother fox is explored - including her hunting for other creatures to feed to her cubs but the death of the mother although shocking in some sense is what happens thousands of times over the winter.

Isabel Thomas’ prose is pitch perfect - poetic; heart- warming ; moving but also not being afraid to confront the realities of life and death.

Daniel Egneus’ illustrations are stunning and further depth to the book.

The curiosity is that although this would appear like a book to use with under 7s - it could equally be used with a slightly older audience.

Ideal for a class topic on life cycles, habitats, wildlife and of course life and death and good aid to open up class talk or even at home .

Never underestimate what children are already aware of and have seen on screens - you might be surprised
