Daddy's Little Scout Book

It's springtime, and Little Fox and Daddy Fox are visiting the animals of the forest to see their new homes. Mrs. Finch is building a new nest. The rabbit family is making new rabbit holes. And Mr. Mole is digging new tunnels.

Little Fox is outgrowing their old den, and the Foxes will need a new home, too. Little Fox is glad that their new home will not be high in a tree, in a prickly bush, or in a cold wet stream. Little Fox realizes that the best home is snug and warm in a den . . . with Daddy Fox!

In this sweet and playful dad-and-son tale, a sequel to Mommy’s Little Star, Little Fox and Daddy Fox go searching for a new den in an airy spring meadow. Observing where other animals make their homes, nothing is quite the right fit for Little Fox. “I’m glad I don’t live in here,” he says, splashing his father in a fish pond. “It’s wet and cold and runny.” The foxes find a mound of dirt and dig all afternoon, until they have a cozy den of their own that’s lit up by golden swirls of fireflies. Ages 4–8. (May)
