The Fox in the Dark by Alison Green
5.0
We borrowed this from the library. It was chosen because my son loves foxes (inspired by his woodland nursery).
This is a great book to read before bed. The morale is that what they fear isn't that scary at all - fox is just a loving mummy to fox cub and as they all helped her lost fox cub, she loves them too.
The hardback edition I had was full of beautiful illustrations with a large picture and comic book threat down the side (I.e. To show ducks truck coming off the road).
The characters all have strong personalities. I give rabbit a very posh voice, duck a cockney accent, lamb bleats her words like Baa and mouse obviously has a little squeaky voice. Fox cub has a child voice and mummy fox has a well spoken gentle woman voice.
I am going to have to buy this book because he will notice when it goes back to the library. Since we brought it home he has chosen it every night for bed. We sometimes don't make it to the end because as soon as mummy finds fox cub he often says "the end" and doesn't want to hear about how they solve the crowded sleeping arrangements.
It is quite entertaining with the gentle humour (mouse does a wee, duck suggest fox eat everyone else, Etc) and I can see older children enjoying it too.
