How to Find a Fox

Description

How to find a fox: Follow their tracks (they're like dog tracks, but sneakier). Put out bait. Wait and watch. And wait some more. Roll down a hill. It won't help you find a fox, but it's fun. Be quick and stay alert-foxes can be tricky! Whatever you do, don't give up. Sometimes what you're looking for is closer than you think. Nilah Magruder's debut picture book is a charming adventure from the perspective of a determined little girl. Some bumps in the road nearly thwart her attempt, but sometimes those foxes are crafty in the best way.

"Magruder's protagonist displays an emotional range that matches the beats of the quest, from excitement and determination to anger, boredom, and dismay, and young children will feel them in tandem. Readers will want to put these instructions to use right away." --Kirkus Reviews "The illustrations vary and are very engaging, and there is just enough text to tell the story. A great read-aloud and a recommended purchase." --School Library Journal
