About the book: (From the Dust Jacket)
When a huge bulldozer crashes into their cozy den, the fox family must move right away! Red Fox, Rose, and their five cubs find that hunting for a new home can be perilous: They flee a hissing snake, a fierce owl, and even an angry swarm of bees. Run for your lives! commands Red Fox. and the whole family escapes. But then their adventures take an even more surprising turn. When the foxes finally settle into a safe new place, it’s far from where they’d ever expected to live.
The bold, batiklike watercolor art of Hannah Giffard captures the energy of the frisky fox cubs and all the beauty of their surroundings. Children will enjoy looking at the vivid paintings again and again, as they savor the excitement of the fox family’s rescue.
