Presenting the award, Waterstones’ managing director James Daunt described The Fox and the Star as, "a book of great physical beauty and timeless quality, one that will surely join that very special group of classic tales that appeal equally to children and adults". [2] [4] Livro visualmente muito bonito mas, como se costuma dizer, com "muita parra e pouca uva", ou seja, tinha potencialidades para ser muito mais. A história é fraquinha. Salvam-se as imagens apesar de, mesmo essas, se tornarem repetitivas.

The Fox and the Star is the story of a friendship between a lonely Fox and the Star who guides him through the frightfully dark forest. Illuminated by Star’s rays, Fox forages for food, runs with the rabbits, and dances in the rain—until Star suddenly goes out and life changes, leaving Fox huddling for warmth in the unfamiliar dark. To find his missing Star, Fox must embark on a wondrous journey beyond the world he knows—a journey lit by courage, newfound friends, and just maybe, a star-filled new sky. and yeah, yeah, yeah, this isn't goodpictures.com and we're all of us first and foremost readers here and we love a good story more than anything else, but sometimes pictures printed in startlingly vivid color La edición es de lujo con tapa dura y una portada preciosa, llena de detalles.

For as long as Fox could remember, his only friend had been Star, who lit the forest paths each night. But then one night Star was not there, and Fox had to face the forest all alone. I was kindly gifted this one by my lovely friend Elena for my birthday today, and naturally I dived straight in and read it.

Sure older kids could read this book all on their own but it’s the kind of book that I see a parent and child reading together as a bedtime story…..just my vision. Hay tantos detalles en cada una de las imágenes. Te puedes quedar mucho tiempo mirándolas, comunican, tienen su lenguaje propio. Hay un excelente uso de los colores. La historia inicia con colores vivos, cuando zorro cuenta con estrella, pero cuando estrella desaparece, las ilustraciones se tornan más oscuras y grises. A medida que zorro evoluciona como personaje, los colores comienzan a volver poco a poco.

What he finds isn’t just his start, but millions of other stars as well. He learns to never give up.
