[Lajune Neal · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is a good read because it is very informational. I believe this book would be good to use in the classroom because it can help expose children and help them to learn things on animals.

This books provides a lot of information about foxes and why they are labeled as sly animals. This would be an excellent book to use when teaching about the life cycles of animals.
