The lyrical text from U.S, Poet Laureate Ada Limón tells the reader about a fox that you might notice if you like to watch nature. The dreamlike illustrations from Gaby D'Alessandro are captivating. The richly detailed elements of nature painted in a pastel palette set the tone of a quiet day observing a fox. Each spread may show the fox several times, one picture per poetic phrase as the reader follows his action. This book is perfect for any young nature lover.
