Little Fox Goes to the End of the World
PreS-K–Capturing a young child's yearning for independence, Tompert describes the story of Little Fox, who tells her mother, “Some day…I'm going to travel to the end of the world.” Her mother's wise reply encourages Little Fox's imagination and conversation by asking appropriate questions such as, “What will you see?” “Won't you be scared?” Bryant's dramatic watercolor artwork frequently fills the spreads. The menacing look on the crocodiles' faces with their hypnotic eyes and razor-sharp incisors will intrigue children. Although Tompert's text was originally published in 1976, the story is as fresh as ever and will engage a new group of listeners.Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA© Copyright 2010.
