[Freddie D · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another book I bought purely based on the title... but ended up completely charmed. Freddie is a cheeky little fox, but his mother is always looking out for him. The illustrations are the real winner, though. They are stunning.

This story reminds me so much in a sense of Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit although using foxes instead to bring the story to life. Mother Fox is trying to teach her kits how to be wild foxes by hunting natural wild prey but her one little kit is too good to be made to look like a fool like his siblings so follow him along as he searches other options.

The pictures are beautiful and the colors are brought to life for the reader as they follow this little family. The escapades of Freddie's siblings will bring a smile to your face as you watch them try to learn to be adults and you may end up shaking your head at Freddie himself.

The story is a bit long for beginning audiences and readers but with patience or by sharing the reading you may get your little one through the pages.

Read this to Adelaide yesterday, she was lookng at the pictures at the start but was asleep by the end, haven't been able to make it through a full book with her yet! Maybe when she is older. I still really liked this tale about Crafty Little Freddie. The picture on the last page is very 'awwww' This one is a keeper, into my box for when Adelaide comes over :)
