Readers are treated to a visual feast in this book with retro-style illustrations and a very clever twist.
Foxly’s tummy is rumbling. He sets off on a mission to gather some ingredients for a delicious picnic. He collects some produce from the farmyard, the duck pond, the rabbit hole and the sheep pen.
Readers watch as he slips around the farmyard animals, and when he calls to the little owl that it’s time to eat we think he’s about to devour him too, but his bags are not packed with animals at all.
You’ll have to read the book to find out just how fantastic Foxly’s feast is.
A caterpillar prepares for a transformation. He travels through the days of the week, eating healthily at first and then indulging in some treats before acquiring a tummy ache. He finds a leaf to eat before wrapping himself in a cocoon and waiting two weeks before appearing as a beautiful butterfly.
