After breaking his mother's chair, Little Fox helps find the perfect replacement.
PreS-Despite warnings, Little Fox thinks his mother's chair is "just right" for climbing, jumping on, and riding. Finally, it breaks, and his mother has nowhere to sit. Little Fox's seat is too small and Father's is too big. The chair store has a bewildering array of all sorts of choices, but not one is "right" for Mother. Finally, Little Fox and Father repair the old chair, which turns out to be "just right" for cuddling and reading. The softly colored illustrations, showing a happy family of foxes so rounded and cuddly as to resemble long-muzzled cats, depict a situation that most preschoolers can relate to-what small child hasn't been warned of the consequences of jumping on the furniture? This very mild but reassuringly cheerful tale could be used for one-on-one sharing.-Marian Drabkin, Richmond Public Library, CA Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
