The Great Review
I love that Sylvia has kits. I don't like that Princess Juniper gets mad that Sylvia is missing. I give it five stars because it is a great book.

I gave it two stars on Amazon because at least it doesn’t have anything illicit or racy in a book for children, but without it’s current competition making it look better than it is, I would give it 1-star.
The other reviewer, by Jules (on Amazon), stated she rated it at 3 stars because it has poor sentence structure, is repetitive, and has poor spelling with little-to-no plot flow. Jule’s is currently the only other negative review for this book so far, but I’d like to expand on that.
I was prereading this title to ensure nothing inappropriate was snuck into a seemingly innocent book for my children when I realized a few things. First, I do not think this author understands what constitutes as a fairy tale. A fairy tale is defined by the quality of good vs. evil and usually has some sort of magical element. I was halfway through this poser when I realized that, with the exception of about two very brief sentences regarding a unicorn, it has zero magical elements about it and no good vs evil. This story would best be classified as realistic fiction if you take out the snippet of a unicorn. Realistic fiction is a fictional story that could really happen. The plot was about two young princesses who went to play in the woods and lost a candlemaker’s pet fox bc she wandered off and they had to search for her or wait for her return. I would also like to be picky and point out that the illustrations are not to my preference, but could be accepted if they picked an era to stick with. Is it a modern era where the candlemaker wears cargo pants and a vest? Or is it a renaissance-like era where the king’s apparel is a long garment with his crown?
I was desiring to find a modern, well-written fairy tale, and while it is modern, I would not consider it well-written even if you overlook all the other details. The first chapter was painfully choppy, for example. While appropriate for a young reader in the sense that they would be able to easily understand what they are reading, I am looking for something to enrich my children’s internal dialogue and connect those synapses. I checked and she seems to be a self-published author. While I applaud her for being a go-getter, I will be returning this title and looking for something that meets my high standards of literature.
My last quibble is that I read in another review before purchasing that she made the children do their chores. I was elated with such a positive message. I was so disappointed upon reading the book myself to find that she undermined that positive message with complaining from the main characters. In my opinion, it would’ve been a much more advantageous move to make the princesses do their chores with a happy heart and focus on that message, which would’ve reinforced the original message of doing their chores. Or perhaps, possibly writing the characters to discuss the importance of why they must do their chores. It was a missed opportunity to say the least. People, even small ones, don’t need encouragement to complain.

This story was a very quick read. Just like the other 4 books in this series that I have read so far - this story is delightful.
The main characters in this book - The King - the two princesses - Olivia and Juniper - and Paul the candle maker - who has a fox named Sylvia who lives with him.
One day all decide to take a walk in the woods. The girls play at a bridge - throwing twigs over the bridge to see which twig goes under the bridge first.
Then Sylvia scampers off and gets lost. Everyone is sad.
But - there is a happy ending !!!

When Sylvia the fox goes missing, the Princesses want to find her. Princess Juniper, six years old, has some very strong emotions because her friend is gone. This book helps to explore emotions and how to deal with them.

Enjoyed reading this with my 7yo. The story was very descriptive and I was able to picture myself in the story, feeling like I was outdoors in the forest. Looking forward to the other books. Also a simple and enjoyable story.

I loved how it will help the young reader to know how to deal with their feelings. And that Queen Jennifer was understanding and walked Juniper through her feelings.

This was very cute! I loved the second to last chapter—so much there about emotional intelligence which is always something I’m happy to read about with my daughter!

Great option for a young reader or a read-aloud to a little one. The story was simple and had some great lessons about big feelings.
