Review: This story follows two fox cubs who go to play out in the snow with a warning to stay where they can be seen.
This was really cute and makes you smile and makes you happy. It’s so precious, as they venture a little too far away they meet some new friends and have so much fun, until they have to go home.
I adored the cuteness of this story and the illustrations make the whole thing even cuter seriously. The fox cubs were so cute, it’s definitely a story that young kids would enjoy being read, it’s such a sweet book.
