The illustrations, especially of the little girl, are very cute and well done. In the story Emily is getting nervous about her first day of school. Her friend Foxy tries to help her gather all the things she will need for school. When she says she will need a pencil he brings her a penguin the first time and then a pencil. By being silly with Emily, Foxy is able to help her relax so by the time school comes she ready and happy. I gave this book 5/5 stars. I think any child will enjoy reading how another child is nervous about a new event happening and will enjoy the silly things Foxy does to make her feel better.
the story of Foxy was perfect for my grand daughter who just got a found dog with long red hair and tail. The name "Foxy" was perfect as a welcome gift and the book is fun to have! The new dog is named Foxy!
I bought this book for my niece as a treat before starting school and she loved it. It made her giggle at some of Foxy's mistakes and I felt it had a touching message at the end. Very sweet and enjoyable.
How much easier our first day of school would have been if we'd had a friend like Foxy. With his magical tail, and a bit of trial and error, Foxy helps his pal Emily to overcome her fears of starting school by ensuring she has all she needs, and then some!Emma Dodd's charming and cheerful images can't help but raise a smile, and the story is both sweet and reassuring. One to be read over and over.
