Perfect bedtime tales book for those who enjoy Nordic tales and animals. The illustrations are gorgeous. My youngest especially enjoyed hearing about the tricky fox!

This is a collection of traditional Nordic tales that may have renewed relevance thanks to podcasts such as Circle Round. The storytelling features a core set of forest and farm animals that find themselves outfoxed by the fox or tricked by other characters. This would be well-suited to anyone with interest in Nordic tales, as the content is similar to other European tales, with some unique twists. The illustrations are muted colors, and look to be ink-relief style. While the stories are intertwined, they can stand alone, and could work as a short read-aloud, especially to older elementary students.
