Mole, Hare, and Otter are greatly saddened by the death of their family member, Fox, until friend Squirrel helps them laugh again. With a subject that could easily turn maudlin, this book speaks comfortingly of the effects of the death of a loved one on the survivors. The anthropomorphic animals and their homey existence are depicted with great affection.
