Hazel and Herbert

By Alexandra Thompson

When a young fox rescues a baby blue bird, her life is upended by the sudden new addition.

Hazel discovers an egg while out for a walk in the woods, and much to her surprise--Tip Tip Tap --out pops a baby bird. She names him Herbert, and from then on, he sticks to her like jam on toast.

But Hazel likes her routine, and Herbert's always underfoot. No matter what she's doing, Hazel simply can't get a moment's peace. What's a fox to do?
