The author opens by asking her reader to imagine walking through a woodsy area and spotting a fox. It could happen, I suppose, but I live in an area with many undeveloped spaces. Through the years I seen numerous raccoon, possums, skunks, groundhogs, and coyote, but I've only seen ONE fox and it was road kill. Are English foxes friendlier than their American cousins?
I've always thought that the fox is the most elegant of the dog family and Ms. Child points out that it has some cat-like characteristics, such as retractable claws and eyes that are especially adept at seeing in the dark. And fox babies are called "kits." Is the fox the missing link between dogs and cats?
As always happens when I read one of the books in this out-standing series, I learned some fascinating facts. I didn't know that both parents participate in raising the young or that a group of foxes is called a "leash." I knew of the Arctic Fox, but didn't know that their gorgeous (and, unfortunately, very sought-after) pelts change color with the season. I'm wondering about the foxes found in Australia. Are they a native species, or were they introduced by settlers? The very best books are the ones that leaving you wanting to know more and this author is an
expert at inciting her reader's enthusiasm for exploring the natural world.

Another excellent book in the series by this author, this time about that much maligned but beautiful and elusive animal, The Fox.

"Foxes, See How They Run"
This is a fact-based educational guide to foxes to be read to children. Foxes look like dogs, but they are not domestic and friendly like your neighbor's dog. Foxes are wild, and they have enemies in the wild such as large wolves, coyotes (which are only a little larger than the fox), the lynx and eagle. You see, they are not much larger than a cat! They weigh about 13 pounds. Foxes don't live in packs like wolves, they live and hunt alone. The can be found all over the world, even the cold arctic. Read all about the families of foxes, how they live and hunt, and how they play. This is another wonderful guide to add to your collection which has been beautifully created by author Emma Child.

Emma Child has produced another amazing book with facts and photos about the small dog family member of the fox. Foxes: Fun Facts and Amazing Photos of Animals in Nature has actual photos of many kinds of foxes and facts about where they are each found in the world. This book would make a great addition to any library for children in the science area from children in preschool through the elementary grades. My preschool children have enjoyed learning about foxes from this book. This is an excellent non-fiction book for children.

entertains guide to foxes
This is another short little book that squeezes in a ton of information. The information is right on target about foxes of several types. This book follows her other fact books by showing what baby foxes are like, what adult foxes are like, the different varieties of fox.
Emma Child researches her subject and writes in a way that is entertaining for any age group. These books can be read to grade schoolers, preschoolers or enjoyed even adults.
I love the fox pictures in this book, they are colorful and can be enlarged for a better view.

If you have ever wanted to learn more about foxes...THIS is the book. If you read this book you will learn about baby foxes and their life growing up. I love that there is also a section telling about all the different species of foxes there are. (Artic, Fennec, Gray, Red, etc.) Recommended. I hope to read all of Emma Child's Amazing Animal Kingdom Books. Great book for ALL ages.

One thing I've come to expect from one of Emma Child's animal books is information Unknown to me. She never fails.
Foxes are common and most of us know a great deal. But I didn't know a group of foxes is called a leash. Odd.
Great photos and a number of the species I wasn't familiar with.
Another winner for the kids.

Foxes are adorable and this book helps to showcase that and portray them in a positive light. Gorgeous pictures of them and their habitats as well help to drive home facts that I'm not likely to forget after reading this book. Educational and pretty.
