This is a beautiful fairy tale about a lonely little fox whose only friend is a star.

"...for as long as Fox could remember, he would wake at night to the cool, calm light of Star."

"All of Fox's happiness was bound to the flickering light of Star."

Then one evening, Fox awakens to find that Star is gone. At first, he is scared and doesn't want to leave his home. Eventually, though, he has to - he has to find Star.

Coralie Bickford-Smith tells a sweet, lovely story about being brave and never giving up. The artwork is beautiful - wood block prints of mostly navy blue and orange, simple and cleanly done. Nothing is cluttered. This is a book that can be enjoyed by adults or children alike. Ms Bickford-Smith does not talk down to anyone, but the story is easy to understand.

Highly recommended.
