Just as she takes a break and considers giving up, the fox decides to make its presence known, and she ends up with several great snapshots. But as the lively illustrations, created digitally in Adobe Photoshop, show, the fox is watching her just as much as she is watching it. And she uses lots of patience and persistence. She uses her knowledge about foxes and their habitat as well as what they like to eat and what their tracks look like. All the animals are drawn for maximum cuteness.Ī determined young girl takes her camera and several possible ideas for spotting a fox with her when she heads out into the great outdoors. There are so many cute animals in here! Frogs, birds, ladybugs, raccoons, rabbits, squirrels, rats, fish, weasels, skink. Children will enjoy this.ĥ.) Other cute animals. He photobombs a picture she takes of a raccoon family. When she is hiding behind a rock, he is on top of it.

He takes her bait (a chicken leg) as soon as she turns her back. He is behind her when she is looking down the fox hole. The joke is that the fox is hiding from the little girl. This girl is interested in nature photography! That's great!Ĥ.) The joke. I like photography, and I like children being able to be artistic by seeing the world through a camera lens. She'll come home before nightfall, but she's free to roam the wilderness around her house until then.ģ.) Photography. We get to see this little girl be active outdoors! She is free to roam the fields and woods and explore. It's unfair to compare her to Dora the explorer, but there was kind of a Dora the Explorer vibe to this book. Also, she is a brown girl with really dark brown, wavy hair. I like the girl because she is very adorable. or rather, the fox finds her!ġ.) The girl. She falls asleep while waiting behind a rock. She has a nice camera with a leather strap with her, and a backpack, which I assume has snacks in it. She is all alone and she wanders through fields, through the woods, and across streams to find a fox. This book is about a fierce, determined, patient girl who is looking for a fox. It won't help you find a fox, but it's fun.
