A fun adventure with a curious fox exploring all kinds of... EVERYTHING! The art is adorable and at the same time astonishing and, in places, creepy. Gagné is a masterful and imaginative creator with countless worlds filling his brain, and it's a delight to be able to see even a handful of them!
Recommended for everyone! Literally everyone! :D

I came across this when Gagne was signing at a comic shop in Santa Monica. Great illustrations, and great stories. This book would be great to read aloud to children and still enjoy it at the same time.
