Fox’s Garden by Princesse Camcam
My rating: 4/5 cats
a book with no words, but plenty of foxen!
this is a very small and simple story about the gratitude of foxen; in this case a mama foxen forced to squat in a greenhouse during the dead of winter with her cublets. and everyone is MEAN to her and won’t give her any tasty treats until one little boy brings her a basket of food and she pays him back in flowers. which i guess is what little boys want. and, honestly, i think the greenhouse is actually the greenhouse behind the house where the kid lives, so she’s giving him his own flowers as a gratitude-present, which is rude. “here ya go, kid—i killed these flowers for you. hope you weren’t planning on selling them, cuz now they’re totally dead. thanks for the vittles!” is what i imagine the fox is saying, because there are—again—no words. but this book is not really about the story for me; it’s for the lovely lovely artwork:
a very sweet, very lovely little book. remember kids—do favors for ALL the woodland creatures and you might get your own stuff as a reward! or a dead bird, if you do something nice for a cat.
