Oh my, this is a book I want to frame every page of. Everyone who enjoys children's books, lovely design, and/or foxes needs this book. This is one of the most beautiful books I have ever experienced and it will become a classic in due time in my mind. This book was created by the woman behind all of the penguin classic cover remakes (also to die for design). I could see opportunities for discussion about friends, seasons, nature, and feelings with this book when shared with your children. I really loved it and felt bad even splaying the pages fully open as if I would somehow damage the beauty of the prints sturdily placed in this hardcover storybook. I want this book to be printed as a coloring book. Someone please make that happen.

This book is beautiful and sweet. The ending let it down slightly. But it's one made to keep forever.

3 stars because the art is gorgeous! However the ending didn't really deliver for me, sadly.

This was just stunning. A young fox is on the search for his star. Gorgeous art. <3 <3

Ik had eerst nog niet eens door dat ik dit boek al had gelezen, nu al bijna 2 jaar geleden. Toen had ik hem in het Engels gelezen en enorm genoten. Ik besloot hem maar te herlezen, dit keer in Nederlands. Het was nog steeds een enorm prachtig boek over een vos en zijn ster. Het einde was echt zo lief en het maakte me heel blij.
Zeker een aanrader als je een mooi boek zoekt met prachtige illustraties op elke pagina.

This was such a beautiful little story! I stumbled upon this book while researching fables about belonging, and found it very touching. It's short and the writing is sparse (it is a fable after all), but I still felt it captured a lot of emotion and I definitely felt the Fox's loneliness. The art in the book is also gorgeous and I'm already debating getting a tattoo of one of the images. Definitely going to pick up a physical version of this book to read to my future children.

Beautifully, beautifully illustrated and a pleasure to hold, my daughter (5) and I read it through, and then immediately read it through again. She loved the pictures and was stroking the fox's fur. There are very few words in this book as on several pages the illustrations say it all. The reason I'm not scoring it higher is that when so few words are present, I need them to really pack a punch and ultimately I found the prose a little flat.
