A girl sets her beloved stuffed fox under a swing set, and a fox (resembling the toy) grabs it. A bespectacled classmate joins the girl in her pursuit through a forest to the thief's home, where they orchestrate a trade. The imaginative, mostly wordless story is told in comics format, starting with a limited, blue-hued palette and evolving to include vibrant, full-color spreads.
