Product Description
When a deep winter snow carpets the Green Forest and nearby meadow, Granny Fox and Reddy have some disagreements on how best to find some food. But Granny — with her years of experience — wins out over Reddy and teaches him quite a bit about patience, common sense, and resourcefulness.
Download Description
When he left home to go to the Old Pasture, in the hope that he would be able to find something to eat there, he started off bravely. It was cold, very cold indeed, but his fur coat kept him warm as long as he was moving. The Green Meadows were glistening white with snow. All the world, at least all that part of it with which Reddy was acquainted, was white. It was beautiful, very beautiful, as millions of sparkles flashed in the sun. But Reddy had no thought for beauty; the only thought he had room for was to get something to put in the empty stomachs of himself and Granny Fox.

Great for the young reader too November 30, 2000
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I chose this book to use for reading instruction. The print is big and bold. Just the right number of words per page for a child starting chapter books. The book is easily decodable, with a very few sophosticated (but still decodable)words sprinkled in like undignified, contentment,conceit, to advance a childs vocabulary. Most important though, the story is really very entertaining. The reader quickly finds himself sympathizing with the poor hungry foxes. Granny has lots of important lessons to teach the younger fox about just how smart elders can be. A true delight.
An excellent animal story read aloud for bedtime. February 6, 2000
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
A 1920 copyright book (with a few illustrations by Harrison Cady) presents charmingly told stories by a master storyteller. Reddy Fox learns many lessons in life from his Granny. Greed, humility, patience, selflessness, and other virtues and vices are revealed in timeless tales of the animals that inhabit the Green Meadow and Green Forest. There are 29 chapters, each about 6-7 pages long, in the Grosset & Dunlap edition. Each chapter begins with a short insightful poem. This is a good book to read to a 4-9 year old at bedtime. The pace of its stories are suitable for being read over several nights with chapters building upon prior events. As Granny Fox says, "It's what you do for others, Not what they do for you, That makes you feel so happy All through and through and through." - Cedric Richeson
