After a rather long break, it is a good feeling to work on my next Freddie and Foxy book; Freddie and the Hidden People. And as before, the wonderful artist Karl Jóhann Jónsson, has simply nailed it.
This little cutie is called Freddy :o)

No wonder I loved playing with my fox cubs, as a child! They are so playful and happy.
Have you seen an Arctic fox yet??
With the weekend on the way will you stay in, or go out and play??
For Arctic fox pups playing serves as an important way to practice and learn the skills they will need to survive on their own, which they are expected to do from around just 3 months old!
