Beautiful artwork! I loved the soft watercolors, which accentuated the winter setting in the poem. The poem is lovely as well, but I was particularly drawn to the illustrations.

Beautifully illustrated book done in ink and watercolor. Leans more realistic than fiction, so I would not us it for my storytime with littles. It would be great for an elementary storytime about winter or animals.

Follow a fox as it hunts for food and is hunted for food!

I really liked this one because it's different. It's written in the 2nd person and portrays the fox protagonist as both predator and prey. It doesn't make the fox either all-good or all-evil; rather, it is simply another creature in the forest.

Little Fox in the Snow is a beautifully illustrated picture book that deals with the concept of predator and prey in a gentle way. We see the little fox hunt and be hunted as he explores the world around him and eventually, he makes his way safely back home for the night.

Sunlight shining on a young sleeping fox in his burrow wakes him up, and as he sticks his head outside, looking around at the snowy forest, he realizes he is hungry. It is time to hunt for his next meal. Following his instincts, the foxling hunts down a mouse, but it isn't enough to satisfy his hunger. Following tracks, the young fox finds a rabbit, then gets a nice drink from a cold stream. But the hunter soon becomes the hunted when the little fox meets a hungry wolverine. Will the foxling escape in time to dream away another night with a full stomach? Daniel Miyares ink and watercolor illustrations capture the cold of winter, and the red fox against the white snow keeps this story focused. Told in free-form poetry, the story of a winter day in the life of a little fox's is not the kind of cute stories about forest animals kids so frequently hear, but a more authentic, realistic picture of survival of the hunter and the hunted, and how that can change so quickly so the hunter becomes the hunted. Though the illustrations also have this authenticity to them, the more gory details are NOT part of the picture. I would recommend taking to any child you might want to share this book with.

Pretty intense picture book that may scare younger readers.
