Winter is here, and snow covers the woods like a cold blanket. Mr. Fox
has his enormous scarf to keep him warm, but it is almost TOO big -- he
can't help but trip over it and get caught on tree branches all the
time. But as embarrassing as that is, it is even more humiliating when
trying to catch the eye of a beautiful lady!
This new series paints a tender and colorful portrait of everyday Life,
showing that behind every flaw or weakness can lie charm and strength.
Readers will recognize their own neighbors, friends, and family members
in the endearing animal characters within this forest community. In this
second volume, a self-assured fox tries to stay warm with his
ridiculously log scarf, but winds up having to deal with the
embarrassment of getting caught up in everything... especially
embarrassing in front of the pretty lady fox he's trying to impress! A
warm-hearted and simple romance tale suitable for all ages.
The stories in this four-book series take place in the same forest over
the course of four seasons. Each can be read independently, exploring
the complexity and richness of relationships with family, friends, and
loved ones. As both writer and illustrator, the author doesn't rely on
text to convey emotions, oscillating between a clever dose of dialogue
and wordless passages to makes these stories accessible to young readers
starting as young as 5 years old.
Presenting a graphic universe somewhere between Michel Plessix's
adaptations of THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS and the cartoons of Walt Disney
(in particular those created by Don Bluth, such as THE RESCUERS and
ROBIN HOOD), Dav gently conveys each season through a changing palette
of colors and rounded designs.
