Illustrated by
Vivi Escriva.
Andrew the young fox gets his older brother's hand-me-down soccer T-shirt and ends up wearing the favorite blue top every day for months. When Andrew nearly outgrows the shirt, he impresses his brother with a powerful kick of a soccer ball, and Andrew realizes he's become too big and muscular for the tired togs. The narrative and color illustrations adequately convey a child's attachment to special clothing.
