Foxes

Bushy tail sweeps ... Pointed ears perk ... Meet the fox! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, this middle-grade nonfiction book treats researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of these crafty forest mammals. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the animals' relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while a Jewish myth about the fox adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
