El zorro y la estrella

Un maravilloso trabajo de prosa y diseño, una original fábula sobre la necesidad y la pérdida.
Había una vez un zorro que vivía en un bosque denso y tupido. Desde que tenía memoria, la única amiga de Zorro era Estrella, que cada noche iluminaba los caminos del bosque para él. Pero una noche Estrella ya no estaba allí, y Zorro tuvo que enfrentarse solo a la oscuridad...

The physical book is gorgeous--just gorgeous. When you handle the clothbound hardback, it feels like a beautiful old edition of a children's classic that has been handed down for generations. Its handsomeness befits the author, the art director who designed some of Penguin Classics' most iconic modern editions.

The Fox and the Star is the story of a friendship between a lonely Fox and the Star who guides him through the frightfully dark forest. Illuminated by Star’s rays, Fox forages for food, runs with the rabbits, and dances in the rain—until Star suddenly goes out and life changes, leaving Fox huddling for warmth in the unfamiliar dark.
To find his missing Star, Fox must embark on a wondrous journey beyond the world he knows—a journey lit by courage, newfound friends, and just maybe, a star-filled ...more

This was lovely. Poetry is the most artful form of the written word; it is careful and selective. Each word, each piece of punctuation, each syllable, is weighed carefully to produce an image or sensation to the highest effect. This isn’t poetry, though the same close attention to detail can be seen.
The illustrations are everything. The book itself, the physical object, is part of the story. They combine with the words themselves to evoke the essence of this. In this case, the physical object i ...more

I must confess, I bought Coralie Bickford-Smith's The Fox and the Star purely because it's utterly beautiful. Given the name of this blog, it's probably no surprise. I was especially intrigued when it won the Waterstones Book of the Year. It's the sort of book that you discover while browsing the shelves of your favourite bookshop and cannot help but pick up, although I bought my copy from a small bookshop that I hadn't visited before.

One of the most beautifully illustrated and designed books I have ever had the pleasure of reading ^_^
When the book arrived in my mailbox, I held it in awe. The cover is perfect. I love the navy blue background and the cute little fox at the bottom, it just begs to be read and a fine showcase on your bookshelf!
The story is worthy of the cover too. It’s about a sweet little fox that loves his star. The star lights the fox’s way until one day the star is gone and the poor little fox is scared and doesn’t know what to do.

Check her review out here for some of the beautiful illustrations in this book... I can't stop looking at them!

A sweet and beautiful story... only 64 pages but it feels bigger than that. The illustrations add a magical quality to the story and helps bring you along on Fox's journey to find his friend.

The illustrations are absolutely beautiful, wonderful colours and patterns 5 stars for them but I found the storyline really weak I'm afraid.
I was kindly gifted this one by my lovely friend Elena for my birthday today, and naturally I dived straight in and read it.
This is a children's illustrated story which is beautifully composed with every page planned out and lovely to look at. The pattern-based style means that each spread is balanced and draws the eye around with the gentle colour offset making it lovely to gaze at. The repetition of the forms makes it easy to follow and simple to grasp, but it also has a uniformity to it and ...more

Una historia preciosa, con un mensaje más bonito aún, que me ha recordado en cierto modo a "El principio", con una bonita enseñanza para los adultos y con unas ilustraciones maravillosas para los niños. Sin duda una edición muy cuidada y selecta que les encantará a todos los amantes de los libros preciosos. Una lectura ligera pero que a su vez, te hace reflexionar.

Read this book out loud with my gf without buying at the bookstore :D
Gorgeously illustrated, cover, designs, everything. A joy to hold in your hands . I read this aloud to my lovely niece as she fell asleep tonight . Beautifully made book but not much in a way of a story and yet oddly ended on an uplifted note. It cheered me up.
A kind of book that you read to your kids. They'll rejoice at the sound of your voice , which is temporary by nature , at the beautiful artwork, and you'll rejoice by the end of this book .
Don't go , but grow .
A John Lewis advert in book form, very twee.
Ha sido un lindo libro y triste

Such a wonderful and beautifully illustrated book
Hay tantos detalles en cada una de las imágenes. Te puedes quedar mucho tiempo mirándolas, comunican, tienen su lenguaje propio. Hay un excelente uso de los colores. La historia inicia con colores vivos, cuando zorro cuenta con estrella, pero cuando estrella desaparece, las ilustraciones se tornan más oscuras y grises. A medida que zorro evoluciona como personaje, los colores comienzan a volver poco a poco.

First things first, the illustrations are absolutely amazing. I love Bickford-Smith's style and the paper is also very thick and good quality. So, this is really is a beautiful book. I was a bit disappointed by the story though, and kind of wish it had a bit more depth and lasting impact. Don't get me wrong, it was lovely, but I think the majority of the appeal of this book is the artwork.
3.5 stars!
Simply beautiful. And lovely, and (insert any synonym for lovely and beautiful). This is the cuspid of the bookworm, buying a book just because it has pretty drawings and you can instagram it like the bookaddict you are. So, the short story is good, but really, the illustrations lift it into another level. I'll definitely buy the other one.
Es un mensaje lindo para animarte a salir de tu zona de confort pero las ilustraciones son lo que mas vale la pena, prometo poner unas después :)

5 stars for the beautiful illustrations, the cover and the way of how it was written - absolutely fantastic!
But only 3 stars for the story, which honestly was a bit underwhelming and not what I thought it would be. I still enjoyed the reading experience - although it went by way too fast - and I'm happy that I have it and can look at it again and again and again because I'm really in love with the illustrations.

The cover is amazing, lovely hardback textured cover, the illustrations are wonderful, the fox is so sweet. The story itself was not as good as I was good as I was expecting, very short and you have to use your imagination a lot, it make take a few readings for my daughter to get it.
One thing I can say about it though, somebody could do an amazing version of this on stage.
Will be reading this many times.

I bought this about a year and a half ago because the physical book is so beautiful. It has been sat on a spare chair in my reading room looking pretty, but I've only just finally got round to reading it while my six year old niece was staying with me for a few days. This is a stunningly beautiful book with a sweet story, so would make a great gift for those who love pretty books.
It's a beautiful children's book with the most AMAZING illustrations and art ever! It's the story of the friendship between a fox and a star. And it must be the art that goes with it, but it's so vivid and effortlessly charming.
Not worth buying it at full price though, very pricey. But thank god I got it for half price ;)

Una bella historia llena de sentimientos y evocadoras imágenes. A pesar de no tener una trama tremendamente original ha sido muy grata su lectura. Eché en en falta un final más redondo y quizás menos abrupto.
Lovely! Everything about it is lovely! The story, the illustrations! All of it!
A arte é 5*. A história em si... Meh
Every now and then you run into a book that looks so stunning you are afraid of opening it, of having it fall apart on your lap as you do so. You can feel your expectations on their toes, reaching out with their tiny little sticky hands. And so you take an extra minute to appreciate the beauty of the cover. Then you take a deep breath and dive in.

You can find my full review of The Fox and the Star on my speculative fiction book blog.
In summary: The Fox and the Star seems to be primarily a gift book. It looks beautiful, it'll be pretty on any shelf, but it's not satisfying to read for grown ups and too precious an object to be meant for children.
