Here's just a few of the facts I learnt while reading this book:
- foxes can run 45 mph
- deer have special stomachs that allow them to eat poisonous mushrooms
- wolves are born blind and deaf
- cougars cannot roar
I'll be passing this gorgeous book on to my 7 year old niece who loves animals, I'm sure she'll find it entertaining and educational. Adventures of Rusty & Ginger Fox would make a beautiful gift for a child in your life.
