This is a really lovely book. The messages in the book are really thought provoking, yet I wonder how much of the message will really resonate with children of an early age. Yet, it is a great book to start discussions around nature, and animals, and how people can sometimes be a little selfish and not be happy with what they have.

Thank you NetGalley and Oni Press for accepting my request to read and review Tiny Fox and Great Boar (Book 2).
Author: Berenika Kolomycka
Published: 11/22/22
Genre: Children's Fiction
This simply illustrated cute story hides a couple lessons for kids on friendships. A parent or guardian could use the firefly story line to explain being kind to animals. As the pair venture on they run across other animals, weather issues and where do they sleep. The importance of staying together can also be taught with this book.
On the surface, this is cute. The illustration colors are inviting. The dialogue is short enough to add discussions.
I would gift this. A self-reader may be entertained and pickup on a couple social etiquettes.

This ebook has re-proved one thing yet again; "Do not copy others to become what they already are. They may have things you do not have but they too don't have what you have." This is my personal take from this book.
Here is a fox and a boar. Both started their journey by leaving their forest to exlore the world outside. Turn by turn they cover all topographical landscapes & enjoyed it as well but at last they came back to their hill realising happiness and peace lies within.
Illustrations were done like those were of all water colors and were so good for it. Learning for fact at last that Berenika did both the parts of writing and sketching on herself, made me appreciate her more. I would love to meet her sometime and learn her art of writing because coloring is my art too.

Berenika, joven polaca, se dedica a la creación de cómics como autora y dibujante. Además, es escultora y artista gráfica, ha realizado numerosas colaboraciones, ganado el Gran Premio de cómics en el Festival Internacional de Cómics y Juegos en Łódź y sus trabajos han sido publicados en revistas internacionales y libros escolares.
"Zorrito y Jabalí" está compuesto por una serie de historietas infantiles que esta joven ha convertido en un proyecto personal. Los entrañables personajes que la protagonizan están basados en sus mascotas; un perro y un gato.
"Muy lejos" es el segundo tomo, el primero "Allí", relata cómo se conocieron los protagonistas y cómo decidieron construir unas reglas no escritas para que ambos pudieran convivir en fraternidad. A pesar de no haber leído este primer volumen que Berenika ha creado a modo de introducción, no siento que durante este segundo haya faltado información o la historia hiciera grandes referencias a lo anterior que me obligaran a leerlo secuenciado. Por ello, considero que se pueden leer de forma independiente.
No puedo más que alabar las encantadoras, evocadoras y tiernas ilustraciones. Los tonos pastel con las que están creadas y todos los detalles minuciosos que enmarcan la obra, las convierten en una delicia y un espectáculo visual. A través de ellas, el lector es capaz de trasladarse a los salvajes y bucólicos paisajes del bosque o la serenidad y bravura del mar, sumergiéndose por completo en la lectura y disfrutando con la belleza que lo envuelve.
Los personajes principales son dos animalitos que todo o nada pueden tener en común. Por un lado, encontramos a Zorrito, cuya personalidad es juguetona y curiosa. Va en busca de aventuras y desea conocer y sorprenderse con todo lo que puede ofrecerle el mundo exterior. Por otro lado, Jabalí, es un animalito más tranquilo, con un semblante más serio. Su único deseo es estar tumbado, dormir y dejarse llevar por el momento. Sin embargo, la fuerte personalidad de Zorrito y la gran amistad que los une le hará seguirlo en sus traviesas correrías. A pesar de ser completamente diferentes, la delicia y la simpatía con la que están creados hace que el lector no pueda más que amar a cada uno por igual y sonreír con ternura ante las respuestas que se ofrecen o los acontecimientos que los depara.
El tomo está compuesto de tres pequeñas historietas que además de entretener y divertir tienen como finalidad transmitir diferentes mensajes. En primer lugar, saca a relucir la belleza de los acontecimientos sencillos que la naturaleza regala, como pueden ser los atardeceres, las nubes, las estrellas o la lluvia. En segundo lugar, trata de infundir respeto y admirar a los animales según su condición y características propias, y al entorno que nos rodea. Y, por último, transmite valores como la amistad, la ayuda desinteresada, el amor por el medio, la adaptación y la aceptación propia y de los demás.
Sin duda alguna he disfrutado enormemente este cómic. Me ha parecido fascinante la forma que tiene Berenika de transmitir tantos mensajes con tan poco condicionantes como los escasos diálogos, las impresionantes ilustraciones o la sencillez de las historias. Estoy deseando leer las siguientes entregas, las cuales, en original, ya hay dos volúmenes, y buscaré el modo de hacerme con el primer tomo para seguir descubriendo más de los episodios de estos intrépidos amigos.
En conclusión, "Zorrito y Jabalí. Muy lejos" es un cómic infantil y juvenil dirigido a todas las edades, contado con delicadeza, ternura y diversión que guiará al lector a descubrir valiosas lecciones de vida de la mano de estos dos amiguitos de cuatro patas.

(Full disclosure: I received a free electronic ARC for review through Netgalley.)
Tiny Fox lives under an apple tree, just doing his own thing, until the day that Great Boar arrives and worms his way into Tiny Fox's heart. By the end Book One, Great Boar taught Tiny Fox some very valuable lessons about sharing, friendship - and bravery. Great Boar convinced Tiny Fox to cross the road at the edge of the forest (my heart was in my throat, I can't even tell you) and explore the great unknown that lies beyond.
Now, with winter fast approaching, Tiny Fox and Great Boar must traverse prairies, mountains, and even the desert in search of food - and new adventures! But when they reach the impassable limits of the sea and encounter a bob of seals, will Tiny Fox lose his dear friend Great Boar to these enchanting new acquaintances?
Though it's for kids, the artwork in TINY FOX AND GREAT BOAR is simply spectacular, and sure to win own a number of adults as well. While I enjoyed the first book in the volume, the plot with the fireflies really sent me over the edge from "like" to "love." Captivated by the fireflies that light up the night sky, Tiny Fox captures one in a shell to keep for his own. Now a scared and unhappy prisoner, the firefly loses his spark - and Tiny Fox realizes that the right thing to do is let him go. SO MANY FEELINGS.

I loved Book One and was very happy to see that the second part is out soon. The watercolour world of this series is absolutely stunning: the colours enhance the story and add dynamics and so much emotions to it!
Tiny Fox and Great Boar set off in the first book, and now they continue their journey. Plenty of things are happening to them, and you have the feeling that they are searching for the meaning of Life. This book has very good vibes - the characters are positive, they support each other, talk about their feelings and concerns, and even when they are not on the same page, they accept the other's decision.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Oni Press for an Advance Review Copy.

Leśnych przyjaciół z tomu pierwszego ciągnie w świat. Opuszczają swoją polanę z jabłonką, swoją ukochaną dolinę i idą przez lasy i łąki, oglądają kolorowy świat. Wspólnie cieszą się przygodą i poznawaniem nieznanego. Są bardzo ciekawi, zadają wiele pytań o otaczające ich nowe miejsca czy napotykane zwierzęta. Drugi tom przygód Lisa i Dzika to przede wszystkim zachwyt nad poznawaniem nowości, wychodzeniem ze strefy komfortu, bezpieczniejszego kiedy ma się obok przyjaciela, z którym można się dzielić przemyśleniami, radością i obawą.

Fox and Boar begin a journey to discover new places, learning lessons along the way. The color and design is eye catching and you feel their exuberance as they race into new adventures. Their friendship is sweet and there is give and take-as Fox learns not to hold on to fragile things like fireflies and Boar learns that even though he enjoys the ease of the seals they are on a journey he can't join, both learn not to get lost in the cold fog. A beautiful book filled with nature and warmth.

Двоє друзів відправляються у подорож, протягом якої лисенятко навчиться розуміти свої емоції, а кабанятко - позбавиться меншовартості щодо... тюленів.

Denne var ikke like bra som den forrige jeg leste. Leste dem nok i feil rekkefølge. Tegningene er råbra. En kan lære litt om naturen, men ikke like mye her som den andre.

I liked this part 2 better than part 1. It reminds me of my childhood, exploring the woods and going just a little bit farther and a little farther. Beautiful illustrations and cute characters.

It can be easy to find your comforts and close surroundings a little too comfortable. The everyday things you enjoy from your favourite shirt to your favourite breakfast cereal to your well run and comfortable daily routines. But life can get rather boring and awfully predictable living this way and sometimes you need to open the door, explore something new, take a few risks and experience the world in a different way. This can be a scary proposition for youngsters (and old people alike) and it’s so much better when you can have a friend along for the journey. “Tiny Fox and Great Boar 2: Furthest” tells just such a tale of discovery. With Tiny Fox and Great Boar embarking on a journey away from their well-known and loved home in search of new experiences. Through these three comic book stories, we follow the pair of friends as they learn about their new environments, each other, and more profoundly, about themselves. Berenika Kołomycka’s simple story, though straightforward, hides subtleties and encourages awareness of our own being and of the decisions we make. These three relatable stories are whimsically illustrated with vibrant ware colour flowers and trees and inviting landscapes. This is a wonderful little romp through Kołomycka’s invented world.

I adored the first Tiny Fox and Great Boar book but this sequel lacked the same magic. Although meaningful with some positive underlying messages, it wasn't subtle and bordered on preachy.
It's one of those things that can go both ways. You can say that Boar shouldn't envy other people's lives or aspire to be someone he isn't and instead appreciate what he has, or you can say that Fox is holding him back and lacking in imagination.
Either way, this wasn't well-executed despite good intentions and beautiful illustrations.
Thank you to Oni Press and Netgalley for an ARC of this book.

Tiny Fox and Great Boar Book Two by Berenika Kolmycka - 4 stars
To continue on with the Fox and the Great Boar book two is just as lovely as the first. The Fox and the Great Boar leave the forest together and find new things all around them. New smells, new colors, a grand new adventure. I found the way the Fox and the Great Boar stayed positive and were able to talk about their feelings and concerns was a great addition to the story. Two friends who support each other and look out for each other is a great message in any story.
The watercolor in this story is breathtaking. I loved all the colors and different art throughout.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

I got this on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!
A beautiful sequel, with just as beautiful art! I really enjoyed this sequel, and although I didn't enjoy the story quite as much as the first book, it is still a good one! It perfectly shows the beauty of life, about how we always yearn to explore something new and how we sometimes can forget the things we have experienced before. It also discusses how we are all different, will experience different things and have different limits.
I really recommend this series!

The unlikely friendship between two very different animals enters a new phase, as they leave the familiar forest behind and explore new landscapes, discovering new friends along the way. The message is simple but effective, although children older than pre-reading may find it too "babyish". The illustrations are works of art, vibrant and glowing.

This is a sweet story about adventure and friendship. The fox and the boar are adorable. The plot is intriguing, especially the last chapter. And the watercolour drawings are absolutely stunning.
