Review by Booklist Review
The Amazing Animals series delivers a fresh batch of irresistible critters! Pairing large typeface and succinct sentences with action-packed full-page photos, each double-page spread tackles a new topic, from the featured animal's habitat and anatomy to its diet and life cycle. Foxes showcases the bushy-tailed canine and its presence across the globe. Although the 3.5-pound fennec fox sticks to the Sahara desert, the more ubiquitous red fox can be found throughout North America. Each entry concludes with a snippet of animal-specific folklore and a list of web and print resources. With abundant STEM appeal and high-interest subject matter, these installments offer an eye-opening first glimpse at the animal kingdom.--Shemroske, Briana Copyright 2018 Booklist

Review by Horn Book Review
Vivid photographs providing up-close views of the daily lives and habits of the title mammals are the highlight of these slim volumes. Minimal texts touch on habitat, appearance, diet, and offspring, and each supplies a folk-story answer to a question about the creature (e.g., "Why do snow leopards have spotted fur? People in Siberia told a story about this..."). Also available in Spanish. Reading list, websites. Ind.
