Book Synopsis:
How do you fight an evil wizard when your only weapon is your smarts?
How do you fight an evil wizard when your only weapon is your smarts?
A
happy group of forest animals are stopped cold by a wizard's enchanted fog that
whispers their greatest fears. The animals think they have to run away but a
brave fox gives them a better idea. He shows them how to stand up for themselves
and how to handle the problem at its source. The fox and his friends figure out
how to handle the bully wizard—and have fun in the process!
My Review:
The Fox Forest Band is a lovely picture book for young children. Lovable woodland animals encounter a fog sent by a bullying wizard. They find a way to beat the fog - and the bullying - by working together to form a band.
The story is told in rhyme, and it is clever and appealing. It would make a great read aloud for preschool age children.
The animals' ingenuity will inspire young children who see them problem solving together, making music together, and discovering the power of friendship. I loved the details, too, like:
"The mice formed shakers from nuts and seeds,
kazoos were made from river reeds.
Beavers found drums and fashioned flutes, and
others made guitars, cymbals and lutes."
The lovely illustrations by Chandra Wheeler add to the story's appeal. Children will enjoy reading this book again and again! Highly recommended for a home library or preschool classroom.

ReplyDeleteThough I no longer have children living at home, and even my grandchildren are grown, or nearly so, I DO have a new great-grandson. He's not yet 11 months old, but he already loves books.
