cathyreads said: Have you ever known the heartbreak of disloyalty. Ever had (or been) a friend who got caught up in all the glitter and aura of someone who clearly was putting on a jealous show meant to end badly? Whether you were the jilted friend, or the party who caused the slight, you'll identify with this book. "Fox" tells the story of two unlikely friends, Dog and Bird, who need each other's support to get along. Fox comes along and tempts Bird away from Dog with his speed and agility - all the way into the desert where he does something unexpected, yet still purely mean. But wait, have you ever been the third wheel? Longing for the friendship you see two dear friends sharing? At some point, children can probably identify with all three characters. And if not, they will better understand the feelings that come from these friendship triangles.
