K-Gr 3–A lyrical ode to the red and wily fox. This picture book poem by former US Poet Laureate Límon captures the simplicity and playfulness of the creature. The narrative and images complement each other as they present one day in the life of the title character. The digital illustrations are set in Kentucky, the poet’s home state. As the boisterous fox travels across the pages, D’Alessandro demonstrates the graceful movement with curvy lines alongside the red fox.
