An Indie Next Pick!
A young fox learns the joys - and surprises - of being independent in this lush new story from award-winning children's book author, Matthew Burgess and rising-star illustrator, Julie Benbassat.One evening, young Mungo ventures into the forest to find the sweet, red berries he's been dreaming about. But he soon finds that foraging alone can be hard for a kit like him, and Mungo gets lost. Very lost! Will he find the berries--and his way back home--all on his own?
With suspense, daring, and foxy resolve, here is a story for all readers who wish to strike out on their own before returning to the cozy warmth of home.
