About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to notice potential problems or 'scary things' that others seem to be ignoring. It is a perfect tool for validating a child's intuition while practicing the art of staying calm under pressure. Hattie and the Fox is a classic repetitive tale that helps children build confidence through participation and predictable patterns. The story follows Hattie the hen as she spots a pair of eyes in the bushes. As she gradually reveals more of the fox, her farmyard friends respond with indifference and boredom. This dynamic provides a gentle way to discuss awareness and the importance of listening to others. It is an excellent choice for a bedtime read or a classroom circle time where children can chime in with the animals' recurring catchphrases. Parents will appreciate how it models perseverance and the satisfying, safe conclusion to a moment of suspense.
