PreS-Gr 1–Set in Svalbard, Norway, the story and pictures of this boldly conceived northern tale burst with coziness and whimsy. A fox pup and her mother parallel the journey of a human child and parent. When a storm arrives, the child and fox meet and huddle together for warmth. Only when their parents arrive are they able to find their way home. The message that the tundra is a shared home for human beings and animals alike beats strongly through the pages and images. The art is simply off the charts. The colors are deep and bold, the textures and images layered and crisp, and the contrasts are stark. The vocabulary is quite sophisticated, so young readers will benefit from having the book read to them.
VERDICT A must-have for read-alouds in schools, this northern tale will captivate both ears and eyes alike of young listeners and onlookers.
