It is spring and Little Red fox is excited to be reunited with his best
friend, Hazel, a dormouse who will shortly wake from a long sleep. But
over the winter, the fox has made another friend, Brock the badger.
Little Red decides revealing the new friendship is not the surprise
Hazel will want to wake to, so he delays bringing it up as they resume
their games. Bu the fox needs to find a way to introduce the friends
while maintaining the special friendship with Hazel he holds so dear.
Eventually the dilemma is resolved, but not without a surprise or two
along the way. This book continues the friendship story told in the
companion title Before We Sleep, also by Volpe and Proietti*,*
although it may be read and appreciated completely on its own.
