The Blue Door: A Fox and Rabbit Story (First Flight Early Readers)

By David McPhail

Book Overview

When Fox sets out to visit his uncle in the city, he invites his friend Rabbit to come along. Fox hasn't seen his uncle since he was a pup, but he can recall the wonderful stories his uncle used to tell. And he knows that Uncle lives in a house with a blue door, so he should be easy to find. And sure enough, when the two come to the city, they find a house with a blue door. And inside lives an old gentleman badger who seems surprised but very pleased to entertain a long-lost nephew and his friend.

But when they sit down for tea, Fox eagerly recalls his favorite stories that Uncle used to tell. Uncle begins to look confused; he doesn't remember any of those things happening to him. And come to think of it, Uncle actually doesn't remember having any nephew, let alone one of the long-lost varieties.

The Blue Door features warm and bright illustrations, an easy-to-read text, and the kind of story that three- to-five-year-olds delight in, a little silly, but with a comfortable ending nevertheless."
