Acerca de este libro electrónico
Fox is a picture book in a class of its own. A compelling drama about friendship, loyalty, risk and betrayal, it's a story as rich for adults as for children.
Through the charred forest, over hot ash, runs Dog with a bird clamped in his big, gentle mouth. He takes her to his cave above the river and there he tries to tend her burnt wing: but Magpie does not want his help.
'I will never again be able to fly,' she whispers.
'I know,' says Dog.
He is silent for a moment, and then he says, 'I am blind in one eye but life is still good.'
An injured magpie and a one-eyed dog live happily together in the forest, until a jealous fox arrives to teach them what it means to be alone.
This breathtaking picture book has won acclaim around the world: CBCA Picture Book of the Year; two Premiers' literary awards; honours in Germany, Brazil, Japan; a shortlisting for the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal in the UK, and more.
