He\u2019s not like the other foxes. He wants to be friends with everyone and take things \u2018at a leisurely pace.\u2019 But the teacher tells him that he\u2019ll \u2018be destined to lose.\u2019 He needs to be sneaky and sly.<\/p>\n He even loves the chickens and doesn\u2019t want to harm them because \u2018Chickens have feelings too\u2026\u2019<\/p>\n Eventually, he decides the countryside isn\u2019t for him, so off he goes to the city. But every job he tries is a disaster. How can you cut hair when you can\u2019t hold the scissors or drive a bus when you don\u2019t know your right from your left. <\/p>\n Until\u2026it was a revelation! He learnt how to cook vegetarian food and set up a cafe\u2026 <\/p>\n \u2026 called Outside the Box<\/em>.<\/p>\n What a lovely book this is (not just because I\u2019m also vegetarian) with Fennel as such a sweet character. The book is written in rhyme and the illustrations by Anyu Desyana are great fun. It\u2019s perfect for children aged 3 to 9 to read by themselves, or be read to.<\/p>\n Meet the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n
