Poor Argyle fox just wants to play outside, but the wind is giving him trouble! This is a cute book about persevering and overcoming frustrations. With a fun fox as a character, beautiful pictures and a great lesson about perseverance, this book is sure to win kids hearts!

Argyle Fox is a sweet story about a young fox who just wants to play, but the wind keeps ruining his fun. My four year old absolutely loved this story, declaring it “a cool one.” The illustrations are gorgeous and the story is so fun! It ends with a really great lesson in perseverance and problem solving, too, which is always a great thing for kids! I highly recommend this adorable book!

What a sweet book. Lovely illustrations and an excellent story. I look forward to sharing this one with my kids.

The adorable Argyle Fox just wants to play outside on a nice spring day, but everything he wants to play with just can't stand up to the wind! Finally he thinks and thinks and comes up with the perfect solution...(no spoilers!)...and all his neighbors and friends come to play too! I found the illustrations utterly charming, and I think any child can be empathetic to Argyle's frustrations!

This sweet children's book is 32 pages long.

Argyle Fox is continually thwarted by the wind in his efforts to play outside on a windy day. The wind keeps "wooosh"ing and blows down his card tower, it frustratingly tangles up a web, it blows off his pirate hat, throws his ball into a tree and messes up his castle.

Frustrated he declares he's done. His mom challenges him to figure out a way to work with the wind and eventually he does.

This book shares a great message of perseverance and problem-solving; I also like that it reinforces the message that parents, not purple dinosaurs or other children, are children's first line of defense when life gets difficult.

Thank you to Marie Letourneau, Tanglewood Publishing and Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Thank you NetGalley and publishers for an advanced copy.

What a beautifully written and illustrated book. Argyle Fox is an imaginative and persevering character. Despite unsuccessfully playing in the wind, Argyle is encouraged by his mom to keep thinking of a way to play in the wind. His decision is a great one.

A great book to promote growth mindset among children.

This would be a fun read in younger grade classrooms. It explains the idea of trying again and thinking outside the box. Argyle wanted to play outside, but with the wind, none of his games were working. He went inside and said that he never wanted to play in the wind again, but his mom had him think about what activities would be great in the wind. He kept thinking and finally found the perfect game to play.
This book could be read at any point during the school year to show students how playing sometimes might not be what they want it to be, but thinking creatively and trying different things can make playtime more fun.
The writing and illustrations match and are appropriate for any reading level.

I loved this story and all the artwork! Who isn’t ready to go outside to play in the springtime? I know I am! But for Argyle in this adorable story, the weather is creating a bit of a problem. He just needs to find the right activity to fit the weather! A great storytime picture book!

A beautiful book about the small or the greater difficulties of life. The little fox cub is showing determination to have a good time even if the conditions do not seem ideal. A mother who encourages him to work even further on his imagination. Somewhat tiring for the age group to which it is addressed, as it is often repeatitive. However, I would strongly recommend it, especially for the end that exudes the sense of friendship.

There were parts of this that I liked, but overall, I found it a little long.

It started out with confusion on the first page, with a declaration of identity, introducing the character of Argyle. The problem was, there were two foxes in the illustration, and I wasn't sure which was which. (It's the little one, but that was not clear on that first page.)

The real problem, though, came about as Argyle tried to find activities to do outside. He kept getting thwarted by the wind, so he'd try something else. I thought there were a few too many of these attempts, and I began to wonder if they were ever going to end!

The illustrations are probably my favourite part of the book. Unfortunately, without a strong story to go with them, they're not that memorable.

I thought I'd like this one more than I did. Argyle is cute, and he has good problem-solving skills... but I found the book just a bit too long and repetitive.

Argyle the Fox lives in a windy place and finds it hard to play outside. One after the other, his friend advice him not to play games, to which Argyle answer more or less politely. His mom advises him to think more creatively to find a game suited to a windy day. I was excited to learn what he would come up with, as I thought it would have some relation with the cover illustration. Instead, I found the ending flat and too common, but it has a nice feeling of friendship and shared activity.

This is a lovely, positive story about persistence. The illustrations are darling, and Argyle is an adorable character. I think that young readers will enjoy this story as much as I did!

I'm giving this one star because this is the only way that I can send feedback to you.

I was really looking forward to reading this book, I have four grandchildren who love foxes, crazy right. Anyway it turns out the book was a PDF and I only read Kindle ARCS,.

I wanted to say thank you for the opportunity will check the book out when it publishes :)

Argyle Fox by Marie Letourneau is one of the most delightful children's story I have read.

This is the tale of little fox named Argyle who is trying to play outside but the bad bad wind is messing with his plans and ruining his play. So little fox has to come up with more and more ideas for play until he comes up with the perfect one.
I loved everything about it. Illustrations are absolutely gorgeous, and the animals are friendly and likable.
The story is particularly important since it teaches kids not to give up, to be persistent and to try and amuse themselves and be creative while doing so.
I think that this is the message that every parent can appreciate since a large number of kids are struggling with this issue.
I especially welcomed the fact that Argyle didn't lose his temper or became surly when so many of his attempts at play failed.
His creativity is astounding as is the fact that he needs very few toys to play but uses everyday items in his play.
Both my kids are captivated by this book. It's fantastic.

I will look forward to reading more of her books.

Argyle the fox wants to play in the wind. After trying with cards, webs, forts and having various other animals tell him it would not work in the wind. Argyle's Mom tells him he will think of something to play in the wind. Frustrated he sits and thinks and comes up with an idea. He goes about crafting his idea and even uses knitting. He finally succeds and is told what a smart fox he is. I really liked this book as it has the message for kids not to give up, keep trying. I also liked the illustrations they were very well drawn. I think this would make a great bedtime story for younger children and an good beginner reading book. I love children's books with a positive message. I look forward to more adventures with Argyle.

Oh how I adored the spunky character of Argyle!
Argyle wants to play outside but the wind keeps interfering with everything he tries to do.
This is a delightful story with wonderful illustrations.
I loved everything about this book and know the knitting community and the kids I work with will love it too.

For what it is worth I think there should be a whole series about Arygle. I would love to read more of his adventures!

Thank you to Net Galley and Tanglewood for the advance copy!

Adorable and perfect for young children, this sweetly innocent and beautifully illustrated children's book encourages creative thinking, perseverance, and positive thinking. Both my young sons were very entertained by it, and quickly caught onto the storyline, making "whooshing" sound effects to accompany the flow of the story and guessing at the end results of Argyle the Fox's endeavors to have fun. We've already read it twice and they loved it to pieces. I found it greatly entertaining myself and loved the colorful cast of woodland creatures and the many ideas for activities it provided, even if most of them aren't ideal for playing in the wind.

I received an e-version book from netgalley.com. I enjoyed reading this story. I think my 8-yr-old would've enjoyed this story, as well. It tells about the little fox figuring out what he can do in windy weather. It was nice story about childhood creativity.

Oh my, do I adore Argyle Fox! The sweet character, gorgeous illustrations and story about finding a creative solution in a difficult situation. I paged through this little book as eager as a child. 5/5

Thanks to the author, NetGalley and Tanglewood Publishing for the ARC. Opinions are mine.

I received a free ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was an adorable book. The pictures were so sweet and colorful. It presented the important message about not giving up and rethinking a situation. A very cute read.
