Starred Review And, Too, the Fox

  • Interest Level: Kindergarten - Grade 3
  • Reading Level: Grade 2

U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón has a keen eye for the natural world.

This poem pulses with the joyful energy of a fox bounding through backyards, piecing together a living in his own way. Paired with lush illustrations by Gaby D’Alessandro, this picture book brings Limón’s work to a new generation.

Comes with its streak of red / flashing across the lawn, squirrel / bound and bouncing . . .

Reviews

Starred Review School Library Journal

“Children will be captivated by Fox as they join him on a joyful romp through his world.”—starred, School Library Journal

Publishers Weekly

“In soaring lines of poetry that feel as graceful as the creature they describe, Limón (In Praise of Mystery) considers a fox seen in a fenced backyard . . . The sense of having entered the world of a wild animal for a few unexpected moments lingers in this refreshing picture book encounter.”—Publishers Weekly

Starred Review Kirkus Reviews

“The wonder and reverence conveyed through the text and the fluidity of the illustrations result in a smooth and calming experience that will leave readers awed at the beauty of nature. A grounded yet ethereal blend of verse and vulpine sentiments.”—starred, Kirkus Reviews
