Henrietta and the Fox

Synopsis

Henrietta's bravery is tested when the red fox who scared her once before returns and snatches a bunny from her garden. She saves the bunny, but her plan to stop the fox from chasing bunnies doesn't work. Henrietta teaches the bunnies bravery and compassion when they help the fox after he is attacked and wounded. And the fox learns about kindness and gratitude.

Readers and those who are ready to read will enjoy Henrietta's spunk in this lovely tale of a woodchuck, two bunnies, and a fox.
