Fox, Beware!
by Judy Waite. Illustrated by Myriam Deru
(Rigby Red Giants)
A fox lives happily in a wood but he is forced to move when developers come. Eventually, when the development is finished, he finds a safe home at the end of the gardens. The story follows the fox and the gradually progressing development through the seasons of the year and includes some predictable, patterned language and some good descriptions.
Links to science - living things and to work on the seasons.
