About this title

Review

Age 3-4

Hello, Red Fox tells the story of Little Frog's birthday: as his guests arrive his poor confused mother gets a big surprise because they all seem to be completely the wrong colour. But Little Frog explains that if she concentrates really hard, she'll soon start to see them as they really are...

Eric Carle hits on a fantastic idea in this cheeky picture book that tells a fine story while introducing the concepts of colours and opposites to small children. Young readers will thoroughly enjoy playing along with the fun as Little Fox shows them the special trick that makes colours change before their very eyes.

Great fun, and the ideal book for sharing, Little Red Fox is certain to become a toy box favourite--Susan Harrison
