They Romped and Stomped: Two foxes grow up.

A playful, gentle tale of new experiences. - Kirkus Reviews

The book’s playful text and stunning watercolor illustrations introduce children to the delight of exploring the diversity of nature.

Two baby foxes were born in a den beneath an old oak tree. At night, they listened to the bark of Father Fox and the gurgle-gurgle, croak-croak of the nearby stream. Once they were old enough to explore, the two baby foxes darted from their den and sprinted to the stream. They romped and stomped, wrestled and rolled, stalked and pounced. Did they learn from their exuberant explorations?

The tenor of Rossmassler’s text is smooth and comforting, making it a good choice for bedtime reading. The vocabulary will be accessible for emergent readers, with plenty of sounds (gurgle-gurgle, croak-croak) to enhance read-alouds. - Kirkus Reviews
