I couldn't help but read this book as soon as I downloaded it from NetGalley. Argyle Fox is a delightful, creative, and incredibly engaging story about a young fox who just wants to go outside and play, but unfortunately the weather is a bit too windy for him to do so!

This book is littered with gorgeous, exciting illustrations that I loved and that I am sure any child would love as well. Similarly, the writing is done in such a way that every sentence and page flows smoothly from one scene to the next, creating a lovely reading experience.

In addition to the story itself, I felt that the author did wonderful work of creating a story that exemplifies and shows the importance of perseverance and thinking outside of the box.

Fun story about a little fox who is determined to go out and play on a very windy day. He tries playing all sorts of things--pirates, cards, soccer--but the wind always ruins the fun. Eventually he goes home to pout. His mama encourages him to think out how he can play with the wind instead of against it. The little fox then thinks about flying kites! He makes kites for himself and all of his friends to enjoy on windy days.

Good for preschool storytimes.

The illustrations within Argyle Fox are so precious; very colorful and vibrant with a nod to classic illustrations which I adore. Personally I found it a little silly that he continued to try and do certain activities in the wind and I am curious if children will feel the same way, however, the outcome of the story and what Argyle finally resolves to do really is what makes this story. I believe the value of taking the time to think on his own and come up with an idea is a great lesson learned. Making the kite brings out the creativity and Argyles thinking skills. I also feel this story would work great for storytime. With the repetitiveness of the "woosh" of the wind, the children could all join in to make the sound. I love anything that allows for participation.

I loved everything about this book. I loved the illustrations. I loved Argyle's outcry's of dismay and disappointment. I love how he had to problem solve. Great story!

Little Foxes imagination and determination faces the wind head on in this whimsical and endearingly clever homage to the endless invitations of outdoor play. Little Fox does not give up and perseveres to find a game to play with the wind to the delight of his forest friends and the lucky reader invited to play!

Argyle Fox is adorable, smart and creative. I totally want a pet fox to name Argyle now! It’s perfect!

A cute story about a fox who is trying to play in the wind. But the wind blows everything down or away. But if he thinks real hard bet he can find fun in the wind.

Argyle Fox wants to go outside and play, there is just one problem... it is really windy! Everyone tells him it is not a good idea but Argyle Fox insists. He tries various games outside in the wind. Unable to successfully play most of his favorites, Argyle Fox becomes upset and wants to give up and stay in his room the entire day. His mother encourages him to keep thinking and finally he comes up with the perfect windy day game.

This book is sweet and shows that creativity and persistence pay off in the end. The illustrations are fantastic. They are beautiful, detailed and easily depict the action in the story. This book would be a great read for a story/craft time.

I received this ARC from Netgalley for an honest review.
This is such a cute book, with beautiful illustrations. Argyle Fox wants to play outside, but it is very windy. He chooses many games to play, but one-by-one the wind ruins his fun. Argyle gets frustrated and then he runs home and makes a kite, the perfect activity for a windy day.
