By Ann Tompert, Laura J. Bryant (Illustrator)
A curious fox dreams of adventures but longs for home.
Little Fox dreams of exploring the world, imagining daring encounters with wild animals. Her journey of imagination takes her far, but the thought of home and her mother's love always calls her back. Will her adventurous spirit lead her to the end of the world, or will the comfort of home win her heart? Discover the balance between wanderlust and belonging in this beautifully illustrated tale.
One day, while chasing a butterfly, Little Fox strayed farther and farther from her home. “Come back, Little Fox, “ called her mother, “or you may get lost.” But Little Fox was tired of playing near the mouth of her den. “Some day,” she said, “I’m going to travel to the end of the world.” “Oh, “ said her mother. “Is the end of the world very far?” As Little Fox’s imagination soars, she tells her mother how she will outsmart bears, tigers, elephants, monkeys, and even crocodiles. But finally, she’ll sail home, because “I shall miss you.” The text, originally published in 1991, assumes new life with fresh illustrations by Laura J. Bryant.
