Description
David McPhail has done it again - Fox and Rabbit are the newest characters to join his irresistible menagerie. These three simple stories of fun and friendship are told with all the warmth, charm and humour we've come to expect from this acclaimed author.
John O'Conner's whimsical illustrations successfully introduce the two friends, Fox and Rabbit, to the minds of the youngest readers.

Editorial Reviews
"Just because you're a preschooler, it doesn't mean you can't handle a chapter book. At least author David McPhail doesn't believe that . . .
The stories are told in simple language that's manageable for early readers, who can also look to the colourful pictures for cues. . . Even the youngest reader will understand the gentle humour in these stories, each of which is just a little more of a reading challenge than the last.
This is a good book for solitary reading or for reading aloud to a younger child."
- The Hamilton Spectator
