This is a simple tale, well done. It shows baby fox growing up, eager to be out on his own, but needing to wait until his parents feel he's ready. Poignant ending when he's excited to be leaving the den but also knowing he's leaching his home. The illustrations are gorgeous - thickly painted in warm natural colors.

I liked that fox did not ask to leave at the end, he knew he was ready. Not a very exciting book.

Nice book to introduce ideas about growing up and becoming more responsible. My 3 yo enjoyed commenting about how the small fox was getting bigger but wasn't big enough yet. Especially nice touch at the end when the baby fox realizes that they are ready and informs their parents.

A touching tale of a little fox told through lovely, tho idiosyncratic painted illustrations

A nice way to experience growth and seasons through the (anthropomorphized) eyes of a non human animal.
