A Sweet Book with Beautiful Photography

We bought this book for our seven-year-old son who is interested in foxes. He loves it! And what a surprise, when we read this sweet story of a fox family who makes their home on the outskirts of a city cemetery, that we love this book just as much as he does. We were pleased that it tells of the roles of both the mother fox and the father fox in caring for the kits. The many photos are excellent and there is even a useful two-page section of "Red Fox Facts" in the back. This book also rates high with us for overall quality: thick glossy pages, tightly-bound and printed on acid-free paper in Canada. We highly recommend this wonderful story. It would be a welcome addition to any home library or a perfect gift for any young (or slightly older) animal lover.

Beatiful, heart warming story for adults and children.

This book absolutely touched my heart and soul. The true story of foxes living in a cemetary will touch all your emotions. If you love wild life, buy this one.
