Reviews
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
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
