As a poem about a mama fox's unconditional love for her cub, this story describes the many moods of all children-from happy to frightened, bashful to silly, and more-and reassures them of their parents' abiding affection and approval. Truly remarkable watercolour illustrations from David McPhail, sensitively wrought and never saccharine, are the perfect complement to Liza Baker's rhythmic, rhyming text.
