(3) K-3 In this meditative story, urban red fox Fred dislikes city living with its accompanying noise, scraps of food, and fast pace. Curious Fred ponders where birds fly to and discovers their destination via a tunnel. In "the wild," the exhilarated fox finds clean air, trees, soft ground, other animals, and, ultimately, contentment. The mixed-media illustrations' clean graphic design accentuates the dichotomy between city and wild life.
