This book was purchased as a Christmas gift for a Grandaughter.. The book arrived as scheduled.

Reddy the Fox

This was a favorite childhood book of mine, and the reissue is just as much fun as I remembered. It actually has a good moral lesson at the end.

I love this book!!!!!!!

I`m 8 years old. I got this book for Christmas last year and read it for a book report. IT IS SO GREAT! These are the reasons I like this book: 1. It's funny 2. It teaches good lessons 3. It made me imagine. (I even wrote my own sequel.) I have read many Thornton W. Burgess books and this is my favorite. He is my favorite author.

Excellent book for children

I just reread the Burgess books at the age of 21, and I still find them as interesting, fun, and educational as I did when my father read them to me when I was little. These books have a timeless quality to them, and once you have read one, you want to read them all. The Aventures of Reddy Fox, being the first of the 20 bedtime story books, grabs your attention in this way. I would definitely recommend all the Burgess books as a must for parents to read to their children. These books are also an interesting way of learning about different species of animals in a way much more fun than studying an encyclopedia.
