Little Foxes is a touching yet tense account of some small little furry creatures that one small boy has to help survive. This is another Michael Morpurgo story re-released with a new cover. It is about a boy. As a baby nobody wanted him but was fostered. One day he went into the wilderness, and finds 4 foxes. 3 are gassed but the older cub survives and the boy adopts him. Highly imaginative and touchingly written.

There he watches a cygnet on the water and protects a family of fox cubs. Then his secret place is discovered and the fox family decimated.
