The Fox and the Star by Coralie Bickford-Smith

This book has been on my wish-list for months and months, and I'm so glad to have finally finished it. To find his missing Star, Fox must embark on a wondrous journey beyond the world he knows-a journey lit by courage, newfound friends, and just maybe, a star-filled new sky. Illuminated by Star’s rays, Fox forages for food, runs with the rabbits, and dances in the rain-until Star suddenly goes out and life changes, leaving Fox huddling for warmth in the unfamiliar dark. The Fox and the Star is the story of a friendship between a lonely Fox and the Star who guides him through the frightfully dark forest. this is one of those books you appreciate because it is a beautiful object, one that you will take down and admire when you just need the comfort of something pretty in front of your eyes.Īnd i can personally attest to the fact that it makes a wonderful gift! one i will revisit and flip through way more than, say, Don Quixote. The words don't make up a bad story, it's just a bit meandering and lackluster and can be summed up as, 'oh, there it is.'īut if you're reading this book for the articles, you're doing it wrong. In which the illustrations are seemingly bursting out of the confines of the pageĪll sewn between two pleasantly soft clothbound boardsĬan make words take a backseat for a little while. If these pictures don't show you why you need this book, there's no hope for you.Īnd yeah, yeah, yeah, this isn't and we're all of us first and foremost readers here and we love a good story more than anything else, but sometimes pictures printed in startlingly vivid color
