Let this joyful tale inspire you to be who you are and follow your dreams.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>A rabbit plays dress-up.<br /> <br /> In a friendly world of anthropomorphic animals, cats and porcupines play hopscotch, owls play chase, and Herbert, a yellow rabbit, plays fox. He 'loved foxes so much, he made himself a pair of red ears, ' but his mother tells him that 'rabbit ears aren't short and pointy.' His other attempts at passing himself off as a fox are met with similar disagreement--and scoldings--as when he tries to paint himself red (and makes quite a mess) and cuts a red tail out of his mother's dress. It isn't until Herbert sneaks out in full fox regalia and is seen playing with real foxes (apparently predator-prey relationships are erased in this world) by his mother and little sister that his mother relents: 'I AM A FOX!' he insists, and his mother finally responds with, 'You are my fox.' Dress-up and dramatic play are common among children, and read as a lighthearted story about letting children play as they want to, this is <strong>anodyne and pleasant</strong>. Readers tempted to see or use this as a way to open up conversations about self-identity may wish to consider instead stories that address the realities of complex human communities head-on.<br /> <br /> <strong>A familiar story competently told</strong>.--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em></p>-- "Journal" (2/15/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br>
