Little Chicken is ready for bed, when suddenly there's a knock at the door. It's Little Fox, freezing in the cold. The other chickens know they aren't supposed to let anyone in. But Little Chicken feels bad, so she sneaks out to find him a warm place.
The two become instant friends, and search together for Little Fox's parents. All the other animals along the way seem to know something Little Chicken doesn't -- foxes eat chickens. But when the two new friends find who they're looking for, Little Fox's parents realise that a good friend is more important than a good meal.
Brigitte Sidjanski's story is full of heart and humour, brought to life by Sarah Emmanuelle Burg's charming illustrations.
