Reviews

[Jen]

I really wish the library system had more of these. This was a exciting story about the three friends, and how they persevered against the cheating Rats.

[Ana on the Shelves]

So good that now I need to read all the others!

[Myriam]

Lu en version française quand j’étais enfant.

I'd like to give it 4 stars for the illustrations but the story was drab and the ending... It could be made into a political allegory of sorts but there are too many reviewers here picking out the subtext of picture books and I'd rather not be one of them.

[Conina]

Божествени илюстрации!!!

Първата книжка, на която попадаме от тази поредица.
Беше ни малко трудно в началото, понеже те слагат по средата на действие и усещането е леко неприятно, сякаш си изтървал нещо.

[Grace Wyness]

My favourite book as a child! Gorgeous illustrations.

[Diane Chaniewski]

Super cute illustrations that remind me of Brian Jacques' characters.

[Leilani Wilson]

The art was wonderful, but I didn't really like the story or character choices.

[Thev Loulou]

J'ai trouvé ça pas ok du tout. Le traitement des personnages des rats tricheurs: c'est une catastrophe fascisante.

[Carmen Gatti]

Adorable illustrations, for fans of Brambly Hedge.

[Bridget Deputy]

The "Foxwood Tales" are simply charming!! Adorable animals dressed in whimsical, old-fashioned clothes, going on adventures and building boats and things. Yes please, I'll take them all!!

[The Half-blood Reader]

My absolute favourite books as a child!
You don't see art like this anymore.
