Barely hiding her disappointment that the gifts Bear and Goose are making aren't for her, Fox hides in a box to be her own surprise. When their real gift appears, genuinely surprised Fox relishes the gift-giving ritual. Readers can infer Fox's relatable feelings from the spare text and the illustrations, whose blue backdrops darken and lighten with Fox's mood.
