This book was not only incredibly cute and entertaining, it was also funny!

The primary lesson being taught in this book is that you should not alter yourself in order to become friends with those who will only accept you if you are a certain way. Ooko teaches us that you can make friends simply through being yourself, and that that is the best way to make friends. I believe that there is a valuable lesson in this for children-especially those who struggle with making friends at school.

I wish that I had had access to this book when I was young, as I would have appreciated its teachings, and I may have gone about things a different way, if had encountered this story when I was a child.

The writing is minimal, and easy to read- which allows for the pictures to tell a good portion of the story. And the drawings are colourful and eye-catching.

Despite it being a short book (which I am of course not criticizing, since children’s books are expected to be fairly short), the characters are well-developed, and their personalities feels as if they could pop right out of the page.

Overall very enjoyable. I highly recommend this book!

As someone who loves foxes I adored this book. It's a cute story about a fox looking for a friend. He tries to be someone else for a while, but ultimately learns that the best thing to be is himself.

The illustrations are also quite unique and leave an impression.
