About this book
When Fox is told to go out and make some friends, he takes the advice very literally—and sets about building one. His efforts draw the attention of other woodland animals, and together they discover what friendship really means: helping, sharing, and having fun. Gentle humor and warm illustrations make this a reassuring read for preschoolers and early elementary kids learning social skills. Children enjoy Fox’s silly misunderstanding and the cozy forest setting.
