Outside

by Claire Johnston, Stanislava Getova (Illustrations)

Finn is a fennec fox cub. He lives beneath the desert dunes with his family.

"When will I be big enough to go outside?" Finn asks.

"Soon," his mother answers.

But can Finn resist the temptation to see the desert's wonders?

Perfect for reading aloud to your child. Or let your early reader practice sounding out words.

[Gavin Atlas · Rating 5 out of 5]

adorable, great sensory details of what it must be like to live in underground burrows and tunnels, good message about the restlessness of being a fox pup ready to explore who needs to learn about being careful.
