Illustrated by
Sarah Emmanuelle Burg.
When a freezing fox cub looks for help in the hen house, only Little Chicken will come to his aid, despite being warned against helping a fox. At the end of the story Little Fox, in turn, saves his new friend from his predatory parents. Expressive, gently humorous illustrations lighten this sweet (but somewhat didactic) tale about acceptance.
