I Am a Fox

About the Book

This book is an answer to children that requested books about animals, which live in their neighbourhood, be made available for them. They also requested that the autobiographical style be used because they felt that it would be easier to understand.

There is a space between the print and the picture. This was done so that the children with learning disabilities will not be hindered or distracted by pictures close to the words. The pictures can easily be covered. As children explore the life cycle of a fox, they will also identify with the settings and the tale of an animal growing up.

I Am a Fox is the second in a series of stories that explore the life cycles of various animals that populate the Canadian Boreal forest. The author intends to write ten books dealing with northern dwelling animals to complete this series. The books will be written in the same format but will feature the works of different artists working in their chosen mediums.
