All of Foxes friends have left and gone south for the winter or are settled in for a long winters nap. Fox has nothing to do and nobody to play with. He tries building some snow friends but his new friends are just not as fun as his old friends. He tries taking a nap but he is bored, bored! Finally he throws up his hands and decides to fight winter. Fox is surprised, however, when his plan fails and winter fights back 

This is a new edition to the Fox books from author Corey Tabor and I loved it. Fox is clever and resourceful making this an entertaining read. With humorous illustrations and short simple sentences this makes a perfect shared reading book. Fox reminded me of a child who is tired of being stuck inside the house because it is to cold to play outside. Everyone misses their friends when they are gone and fox is no exception. This is the perfect read for anyone who is tired of winter so check out Fox Versus Winter and find out just how to fight winter!

Review: A World Without Summer

By
A World Without Summer: A Volcano Erupts, a Creature Awakens, and the Sun Goes Out Written by Nicholas Day Illustrated by Yas Imamura New York: Random House Studio, 2025. Informational. 294 pages. In 1815 on a small island in Indonesia, Mount Tambora erupted. The blast was the largest in human history, and one of the deadliest.
