| The perfect unreliable narrator! This is a fun picture book that deftly introduces animal classification. The book’s simplicity and humor add to the success. | |

And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world....”
