This is a cute story to be used in a fox or kite themed story time at the library or read-aloud in a classroom.

Argyle fox just wants to go outside and play on this windy day. He tries over and over to use his imagination, but the wind keeps ruining his play. This book was adorable and I loved the illustrations! Well-written and loved by my 6 year old!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in return for my honest review!

Argyle Fox is a cute book that could work great as a storytime read. I also really enjoyed the beautiful illustrations.

Oh how I love this book! The illustrations are epic! The last page is my favorite- it is frame worthy! I love the story about Argyle's determination to play outside! Finally he figures out what is the right thing to play on a windy day! It is my favorite thing to do- to go fly kites! I will be buying this book for my children and our friends.

The Argyle Fox is a great kids book about a little fox who is tormented by the wind. He continues to play new games but the wind keeps blowing away his toys. Eventually he uses his imagination to figure out a way to play in the wind without frustration or disappointment.

The illustrations were really cute and colourful.

A fun lighthearted story that highlights the importance of perseverance, critical thinking, and creativity. I particularly enjoyed the vibrant and playful illustrations.

Argyle Fox gets frustrated with the wind when he is trying to play outside, but after thinking about it for awhile he comes up with a solution.

Argyle Fox is an adorable story by author Marie Letourneau about a young fox who lives in a tree in the forest. Argyle decides he wants to play outside. Although his mother and the forest animals warn Argyle that the games he has chosen can't be played with the wind blowing about, he still chooses to play them only to be disappointed and upset. When he comes home frustrated, his mother encourages him to think of something he can play in the wind.

This was an absolutely adorable book with beautiful illustrations. Argyle is a sweet and clever fox that when he puts his mind to it, figures a way to finally play in the wind. Ms. Letourneau is also the illustrator for the book and she did a fabulous job of creating a colorful picture book that fits perfectly with the story told. I highly recommend this book and would love to see more stories on Argyle Fox and the forest animals!

Argyle Fox by Marie Letourneau is a story of a young fox who wants to play outside on a windy day. Over and over and over again he tries to find different ways to play, but the wind keeps winning and Argyle's playtime keeps getting interrupted and disturbed, forcing him to find 'yet another' way to play outside. He finally gets frustrated enough that decides to quit playing outside on windy days forever. However, with a gentle push from his mother he thinks up a way that he can play outside 'with' the wind.

Lovely little story of never giving up and not letting disappointments keep you down. The pictures are lovely and give off a happy, serene vibe that help tell Argyle's story.

Recommended age is 3-7. With this story, I can certainly see some of Argyle's games being acted out by the reader as well as the wind sounds. I also appreciated how Argyle cleans up after himself and puts his things away.

“Argyle Fox” by Marie Letourneau was a great children’s book about problem solving, about trying again after you fail, and perseverance in the face of adversity. Ms. Letourneau is both the author and illustrator of this whimsical and beautiful children’s book. Her illustrations are both vibrant and intriguing. They add detail to the story without adding words.

The story follows Argyle Fox’s attempts to play with various toys and games on a windy day. Despite the numerous warnings about what to play with, he keeps trying new things and refuses to get discouraged.

I loved the themes in the book as well as the ultimate message. I didn’t really find any “flaws” without it that would keep me from recommending it to others.

Argyle Fox is a beautifully illustrated, gently told children's story by Marie Letourneau. Released March 2017 by Tanglewood, it's 32 pages and available in ebook and hardback formats.

Aimed at younger readers (3-7 years old) this would be a wonderful read-along or read-to-me selection. There's a great range of potential for character voices and sound effects if you're reading this to your young ones.

Argyle Fox is a youngster whose outdoor playtime keeps getting interrupted by the wind. It blows down his card tower, messes up his yarn spider web, blows his pirate hat away, and wrecks his castle. When Argyle's mother encourages him to think creatively, he finds a solution that he can be happy with.

This book does a wonderful job of showing that challenges can be opportunities for learning and advancement and it does so without being strident or preachy. It's a lovely message of perseverance and innovation.

I really enjoyed this little book. The illustrations are beautifully done and are full of small subtle details that would enhance a co-op read through with a youngster.

Five stars. Adorable!

Argyle Fox

Argyle is a clever young fox determined to play outside. Strong winds spoil every idea he has, but Argyle doesn’t give up. Despite his neighbors and friends telling him that it’s too windy for his activities, Argyle continues his attempts. A collapsed house of cards and a newspaper pirate hat whisked from his head are two things that went wrong, keeping Argyle from having fun day.

Argyle is persistent, but becomes frustrated that his ideas aren’t working. He dutifully gathers up his wind-scattered toys and heads home where he vows never to play in the wind again. Knowing Argyle is upset, his mother gently encourages him to think for awhile, and renews his confidence.

Can Argyle use his imagination to come up with something fun to do in the wind?

Argyle Fox by Marie Letourneau is a beautifully illustrated book. On almost every page, I notice some detail I’d missed during a previous read through. (“THIS END UP” on the cardboard castle and the playing cards cut as kite tail decorations were favorites.) The cover caught my eye initially, and the rest of the book didn’t disappoint. While Argyle Fox uses his imagination in order to play in the wind outdoors, this book would be the perfect inspiration for kids finding an indoor activity on rainy days. I’m looking forward to adding this one to my collection!

Thanks to NetGalley and Tanglewood Publishing for the opportunity to read this book. My review is honest and unbiased.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I enjoyed reading this. An interesting story with fun characters. Well written.

“Argyle Fox” is an adorable, simple, little book about the games that small children might want to play in the outdoors, from playing football to pretending to be a spider.

This cute and delightful tale is beautifully and vibrantly illustrated using different animals such as squirrels and beavers throughout the story. The book focuses on children’s emotions and the reader is encouraged to find their own solutions to problems, such as the different games you can play outside when the weather is windy.

I recommend this lovely storybook to both children and adults and I think it would make a very nice addition to the family library.

Thanks to NetGalley, Tanglewood Publishing and the author for the free ARC of Argyle Fox. This is my honest and totally voluntary review.

A delightful picture book that gets the balance of text and pictures just right. I've looked through the pictures several times to notice details such as how Argyle ends up using pieces from each of his failed games to create his kite. Kids may not understand the connection between his name and the many examples of argyle in the illustrations, but adults will enjoy those details, while kids will rejoice when Argyle finally figures out what to do for fun on a windy day. Perfect for one-on-one sharing with 3-5 year olds. Review based on an ARC received through NetGalley.

Tis an average Children's book. It doesn't stand out as much as some others I've read recently. The cover is what initially drew me in. It's adorable. 💕

I wasn't a fan of the story. It doesn't really represent friendship well. Everyone just says noinstead of helping Argyle figure out the problem but at the end are right there to enjoy the benefits of the solution. 😒 

***Thank you Netgalley and Tanglewood Publishing for the review copy.***

This is such a sweet book! Poor Argyle Fox wants to play outside, but the wind keeps affecting his plans. I love this book for the character's perseverance and imagination. The illustrations are whimsical and fun!

Argyle Fox is an adorable story about a Fox who is struggling to find something he can play with on a very windy day. Each time something goes wrong with his idea, he finds another idea to try. Idea after idea goes wrong until Argyle finally gets frustrated and gives up. With his mother's advice, he tries again and is able to come up with something he can play with on a windy day. Argyle Fox is a story of determination and perseverance. It is a story to encourage creativity and never giving up. Argyle Fox would be the perfect read for a social/emotional lesson in a lower elementary classroom.

This is such a beautiful picture book! The illustrations bring the story to life and are perfect for engaging young children. I love that Argyle Fox engages in a lot of imaginative play - with so many children having access to tablets and smart phones it's nice to see a book that will (hopefully) also inspire them to play in other ways. I also really appreciated that his mom didn't just tell him how to fix his problem and instead encouraged him to try to solve it on his own. I look forward to seeing many more stories with Argyle Fox!
