Illustrated by
Matthew Cordell.
After beret-wearing fox Pierre sets out by car to make a friend, he encounters three different animals, each of whom joins his quest. Readers will delight in knowing more than these big-hearted but pea-brained characters, who become friends without realizing it. Some of the merry illustrations of their journey up a steep mountain are, appropriately enough, vertically oriented.
