My absolute favorite childhood book. I have a tattoo of Vulpes as an adult.

This one didn't really do it for me. A repetitive story (LOTS of hunting, being hunted and talking about hunting) and I didn't feel connected to our titular fox protagonist at all. The ending was also far too predictable to hit me emotionally.

This book is for slightly older readers. Younger might have a hard time with the hunting aspect, as we do spend a bit of time with the hunters.

I loved how we get to know everything about Vulpes without needing to have him 'talk'. Even when he was with his mate, there was no verbal communication between them.

I liked the reoccurring animals that showed up now and again.

Book does get a bit long, but the flow is very good and the pages sail by.
