Now a family favourite, this new format with padded covers and cardstock pages will become an enduring classic.

This poem about a Mama Fox's unconditional love for her cub describes the many moods of all children-from happy to frightened, bashful to silly-and reassures them of parents' abiding affection. Remarkable watercolour illustrations from David McPhail are the perfect complement to Liza Baker's rhythmic, rhyming text.
