[Kat Trent · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great book for kids to learn about a Japanese folk tale! 790 Lexile level

[Alicia · Rating 3 out of 5]

Those shapeshifting fox tricksters with their extra tails and ability to lure people in. It's a "creature of legend" series book that is super brief and fixated on the topic at hand-in this case Japan's kitsune.

There are pictures of shrines around Japan, paintings and images, explanations, and anecdotes to show how intertwined they are with Japanese culture.

Simple and informative. It has qr codes for more interaction but I did not use them.
