Foxtrot

Foxtrot loves to dance but he is surrounded by misery guts who try to stop him but he has the boogey in him and eventually tells them all to sod off.

A great moral to the story: Dance even if the misery guts around you don't want you to do so.

Sweet message about finding a way to do what you love with a lot of good messages about how friends should actually act - letting you know when you're doing something that is detrimental to others and helping you to achieve your dreams even if they don't understand them. Possible for a future storytime, but I'm not set on using it.

Fox loves to dance, but not everyone is supportive of his passion. He tries a few other things to keep other people happy, but in the end, learns he just has to dance. Don't worry about those who are , naysaying negative dang gum cry babies! The lesson: You do you!

Foxtrot loves to dance but his dancing isn't appreciated by his friends who say it causes trouble like stopping traffic. Can Foxtrot learn to stop dancing and should he? Preschool and up for length. Cute.

Fox dances through life, but causes a lot of trouble. He tries to change his ways, with little luck, until he finds a place he belongs. Lots of new vocabulary like "mayhem" and "petrified" to share and the illustrations are great

A dancing fox who also tries drag-racing! What more could there be to love about this book? HaHa!
