The Owl and the Fox

High in a great oak tree lives Oliver, a grey and brown owl whose round amber eyes notice everything below. On the forest paths beneath him trots Finn, a young fox with orange-red fur and a green canvas satchel. Though the two have never spoken, each has often caught sight of the other, and soon they will learn how much they need each other's help. This gentle tale by Jane MEADOW follows the pair as their quiet curiosity about one another turns into cooperation.

One crisp autumn morning, the animals' carefully gathered winter food stores disappear, and alarm spreads through the forest. Oliver glides down from his perch to report tracks near the old birch tree, while Finn offers to follow them through thick bushes and narrow trails. Guiding from above and tracking from the ground, the two make a discovery that changes the search. Told in simple, warm language, the story can be read on Kids Tale Book.
