Bramble the Fox was on the hunt for Fireflies one night. He woke Hazel Hedgehog in his attempt to find them who became intrigued about the Fireflies too. Twig the Owl told Bramble to head to the lake, that is where the Fireflies would be.

When he got there though there was another fox in the water looking back at him which scared him and made him angry but the more he shouted at the fox the more the other fox shouted back. He returned to wise Owl Twig to ask her advice. Twig said she wondered what had upset the other fox and perhaps they should go back to the lake to find out.

Along Came a Fox is a book that has been superbly illustrated with beautiful full-page pictures that pull you into the story and bring the story to life. The book’s main theme is about being kind, friendly, and treating others how you would like to be treated.

I was expecting the story to be about reflections and Twig the Owl teaching Bramble and Hazel about how the moon was lighting up the lake and making themselves reflective in the water, but this was never mentioned. Whilst older children will understand this by the illustrations, younger children may need it pointing out to them.

The book is lovely with its soft, dark colours and night-time theme it would make the perfect bedtime story.
