This counting picture book encapsulates the quintessential concept book and a suspenseful narrative arc exceptionally well. Mix in Kate Read‘s vivid illustrations, and One Fox becomes a stunning book that holds up to repeated readings. The ending is unexpected, and every page offers visual delights.

I just read this book. I, too, find the pairing of concept and thriller a brilliant choice. And the art is exceptional all the way down to the end papers. Nice rec!
I know, eh? A brilliant choice, as you said. I love this book! 🙂 Thanks for agreeing.
Love that sly-looking fox on the cover! Great first counting book!
