Little Fox in the Moonlight
Content : For all the Little Fox fans (nearly 8,000 copies of the board book sold) who have grown up!
Little Fox sets off to explore the forest, looking for prey to bring back to the den. Suddenly, he spots a bright and beautiful light…He decides at once — that’s the one he’s going to catch!
As he moves away from the den, Little Fox feels the first dead leaves of late summer crunching beneath his paws. A gentle breeze softens the night’s warmth and makes the leaves of the trees quiver. Little Fox looks around: all is calm. Only a dance of fireflies brings life to the darkness.
A story that draws us deep into the magical world of the forest, brought to life with beautiful illustrations featuring shimmering and sparkling highlights on the cover and inside the book. This tender tale explores a child’s first steps towards independence — little readers will easily see themselves in the fox.
