Irina Korschunow. Scholastic, $2.25 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-590-40309-2

A mother fox comes across an abandoned baby fox, nurses it, rescues it from danger and eventually can't tell him from her other three children. PW 's comment: ""Skofield's translation from the German preserves the lyrical, moving tenor of the original, a story with the power of a parable with Michl's realistic color pictures and sharp ink drawings.'' (4-8)
