As someone who gets a visit from a fox throughout the year, I absolutely loved this book. Children who love animals, and finding out how to find them, will also enjoy this book. It's for children who are just learning how to read, and those who are working hard to master the written word. Font and paragraph sizes range, depending on the reader. The pictures are absolutely stunning, and the information given is clearly written to help young readers understand the information they are being given.

They seem scary, but some intimidating-looking creatures are fascinating, talented, and important.

The comparison to Carson Ellis' Home is apt. If You Live Here is a whimsical look at all the special places we call home, featuring absolutely adventurous and charming illustrations by Christopher Silas Neal. This book also contains a sly message about the power of reading.

This book is great for all ages, for younger grades a teacher should read it aloud, but for older elementary kids this would be a great picture book because it is a bit more serious. This book was all about foxes, each page had pictures of foxes and different facts about them. The entire book tells all you need to know about foxes and how they survive. In a classroom this would be great to use in a unit about forest creatures or just learning about animals.
