This beautifully illustrated book is visually stunning and I just loved the vivid, orange fox against the dark and white backgrounds! Check out the images below: Can the Fox be brave enough and face his own fears by wondering through the deep, dark forest on his own? But one day Star disappears and the unfamiliar dark proves to be a very frightening place indeed. The star guides the fox through the frighteningly, deep, dense, dark forest, which allows him to forage for beetles, run through the tangled thorns, chase rabbits, dance to the rain’s tapping beat and all of his happiness is bound by the comforting light of Star. The Fox and the Star is simply a sweet story about friendship between a lonely fox and a star. The illustrations are simply stunning and a work of art! It really reminded me of William Morris style artwork.

This really is a ‘little gem’ of a picture book! It is a beautiful story about friendship, loss and courage. The Fox and the Star by Coralie Bickford-Smith
