Children's Crown Award nominee For the first month of her life, Amber
lives only in the den she shares with her four brothers. When at last
they are ready to leave the den in late spring, Amber and the other
kits overcome their fears quickly. In no time they are tumbling over
each other in their eagerness to explore the delights of the world
above. But playtime will soon be over. As the summer flies by,
Amber's parents teach the lessons that are crucial to their survival.
Foxes have many enemies, and they must learn to outwit foes stronger
and faster than they are. By fall, Amber's parents have left, and her
brothers have gradually gone their separate ways. Amber still has
much to learn. Driven by hunger and fear, she will use every instinct
and intelligence she possesses to feed herself and stay safe. One day
she will be ready to find a mate and raise a family of her own.
Author Shirley Woods' love of the natural world shines in this
accurate portrayal of a young fox's life. A wealth of factual
information about foxes is carefully woven into a story filled with
adventure and suspense.
