My Thoughts

The adventures of Rusty and Ginger Fox is a beautifully written and illustrated book for children between 4 and 8 years of age. It tells the story of two little foxes on their adventures into the wild. On the way they encounter different animals and learn if these other animals are safe to be around or if they would be prey to these animals. They meet two little girls on their way to Treasure Island. The foxes determine that the girls are safe and they can share the treasure they find. In the telling of this story, the author tells some interesting facts about these animals and the two little girls. These facts are in the form of "Did you know?" format. The illustrations in this book are actually photographs taken by the author. I found this book to be very well written and I think it would make a great addition to any child, girl or boys, library or a great gift!

I received this book from Phenix & Phenix and was not monetarily compensated for my review.
