This was a sweet story, and I really loved the two color illustrations. The red amongst the brown was able to highlight many things that brought each party of the story into focus.
This book is about a little boy in the woods of fall and winter wanting desperately to see a red-tailed fox in the woods. Some noise keeps scaring the fox away. He found his fox hole with his dog one day.
I don't know why I loved this story so much really. I did. It is like those 40's stories with way too many words and too long. I love the water colors. For me, what it does is evoke fall and winter in my mind. I'm a kid walking through the woods behind my house in fall, the leaves crackling, or I'm walking on the frozen creek in the winter back in the woods. I could never be quiet like Roger, but I loved being in the woods and around the trees. This book flooded me with memories! It was perfect for me.
I did read this to the kids and it got real long for them and they began losing interest. They gave it 3 stars.

Lovely tinted pencil drawings are paired with period text in this story about a young boy hoping to see a fox. The length and tone are older than most pictures books today, though it is younger in tone than a chapter book.
