PS
A fox parent guides its kit through its first year. When spring arrives again and it's time for the kit to "explore alone," the adult assures the youngster it can always come home. The second-person rhyming text is sweet if not particularly inspired. Watercolor and pastel illustrations evoke the beauty of the foxes' woodland home all year and cleverly integrate words into the scenery.
