Each was intent on securing his own food or prey. This was the normal cycle of the wild. Hunters and hunted, food or prey. Some must perish that others might live. Some found food in plants. The carnivores lived upon the herbivores; and so the cycle went on. Those best able to cope with the world they lived in and satisfy their simple demands, survived. "For the present, Vulpes was the hunter; perhaps in the morning he would become the hunted." Kindle location 1642-1646 "A heavy blanket of snow dampened all sounds. No leaves were free to rattle across the woodland floor. The snow lay on the tangled mats of the dormant honeysuckle and weighed the vines down. The thick white cloak made grotesque figures that stood motionless on the woodland floor. Black pools of water at the foot of snow-rimmed falls in the tiny streams heightened the effect of the ghost-like forest. This was the woodland of the wild. So unlike the same woodlot during the day. When the protection of the vale of darkness hung over it, the wild creatures of the woods came out from their hiding places to carry on their life. At night the woods became a primeval forest."

Vulpes is the "smartest pup out of the litter" and enjoys out-thinking the local farmers and their dogs
A great fox story for fox lovers, easy for kids to read and understand. Even the topic of death is lightly touched. The only thing that I didn't like about this book was the pages just dedicated to the farmers, hunters and trappers. I could understand that having the humans talking about the fox can add to his story but more then half of the conversations have almost nothing to do with Vulpes or the plot. ( )
