About the Book:
Little Fox has gone missing in the park. The family search high and low, but the cuddly toy can’t be found. Then, one night, a beautiful fox calls at the window, and the boy decides to follow her. They go on a magical winter adventure: moving through the city, past snowy meadows and icy rivers, until the boy realises the fox has led him to something special, and that she needs his help. Can the fox help him find his own beloved Little Fox?
This story, written in beautifully lyrical verse, has a toasty warmth at its centre despite the wintery setting. And it is certain to tug at the heartstrings of anyone who reads it. Perfect read-aloud fun for children aged 3+.

About The Author:
Before life as a published author and illustrator, Rob worked on magazines including Just Seventeen, NME and The Observer Magazine. His first picture book, Blown Away, published in 2014, was only the second picture book to win the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize.
Since then, Rob has illustrated twelve of his own picture books and created a range of bestselling activity books.
Rob’s series of #DrawWithRob videos, designed to help parents with children at home from school due to the pandemic, became a viral hit when launched in March 2020. The videos – featuring many of Rob’s own book characters – have captured the imaginations of families, children and artists, young and old, around the world and been watched over ten million times on YouTube alone. Rob holds the Guinness World Record for the biggest art lesson when over 40,000 families joined him online to draw a whale in May 2020.
