Summary: Eye-opening detail of a day in the life of a young, male fox
Comment: This book was read to me by my seven year old (first grader) daughter. The book describes the basic daily existence of a young male fox. The story details how Fang begins his first winter in the Great Woods. The story includes details of fox relationships with other males and females, including marking their territory. Fang's attempt to hunt and capture food is also covered. Fang is chased away by a male goose, and later, the dominant male fox. In the rush to escape, Fang is hit by a passing car. Eventually, Fang finds food (insects) and a warm place to rest and heal wounds. While the story is graphic and educational, the material is a not story every young child should hear/read. Also, the vocabulary used is more advanced than the emergent reader level. So, many first and (some second) grade readers may need help with the comprehension aspect of the story. Following the story, there is a section that identifies different foliage and animals featured in the story and asks readers to look for them. And, there is also a "Things To Do" section for kids to help learn about wild birds (i.e., make several kinds of birdfeeders) plus a bibliography listing books and videos about foxes. There is a lot to learn for both children and adults from this book and is worth reading over and over!
