 Fox and Hare live together in a hole. Fox especially likes a lot of food (which can be seen by his rather fat
 belly) and Hare takes care of the household. Owl, their neighbor, takes care of a chick that he hatched
 himself. The stories around these four figures can be read separately, but also constitute a whole. They are
 arranged in a chronological order and follow the seasons; in terms of reading proficiency, the texts
 become increasingly difficult, so the book can grow with the reader. The stories are very well written,
 have functional repetitions and nice puns. The design invites beginning readers and the many, colored
 illustrations characterize the animals very nicely, clearly 
 giving the book additional value. (6+)
