Fox's Den

From the Series Science Slam!

A red fox sneaks up on an unsuspecting mouse. Then it pounces, landing on the mouse with all four of its feet. The fox grabs its prey with its jaws and heads back to its den. The fox's pups have been waiting for their meal in this safe underground burrow. Clear text and colorful photos and diagrams will engage young readers as they learn about the natural habitat, physical characteristics, diet, and behavior of foxes. Age-appropriate activities and critical-thinking questions give readers a chance to make observations and gain insights beyond the facts and figures.

Fox's Den

Did you know that parent foxes bring live mice to their cubs to practice hunting? This nonfiction book will help young children learn more about furry red foxes. The full-page photographs with numerous labels, headings, and captions are informative and interesting. For example, children will learn about the fox’s hideaway, the den, that has two tunnels and holes for going in and out. At the bottom of the tunnels, a large nest room holds grass and leaves for baby foxes. In addition, readers will learn about where foxes live in the world, how they dig their den, how many cubs they have, what they eat and how they hunt. The author asks questions throughout which will cause readers to critically think and use the text and/or pictures to answer them. In addition, a table of contents, vocabulary words, an index and more information are included. This book is part of a science series that includes titles on chipmunks, groundhogs and prairie dogs.
