Glasses for Fox

A new ingenious story full of suspense, humor, and philosophy: 'A Pair of Glasses for Fox' by Daan Remmerts de Vries. In this picture book, Fox is taking a walk and sees something lying on the path—a pair of glasses. Fox immediately puts them on and looks at himself in a puddle. He smiles: he is now a very wise animal! Only... the surroundings seem to be shrouded in a kind of swirling mist. Bumping and stumbling, Fox stumbles on through the hazy forest and finally steps on another animal. This unknown, blurry beast turns out to have just as poor eyesight as Fox. Precisely because of this, a warm and empathetic conversation ensues. Until they discover that Fox's find was exactly what the other had lost... The picture book series by Daan Remmerts de Vries featuring the beloved character Fox is beautifully illustrated, funny, and timeless. Fox is cunning, but always just a little less cunning than he thinks. All four books published so far ('Vos is een boef', 'Dokter Vos', 'Feest met Vos', and 'Vos en Vis') were received with great acclaim. Daan Remmerts de Vries is the winner of two Golden and five Silver Griffels. In 2021, he received the Theo Thijssen Prize for children's and youth literature. 'Vos is een boef' was awarded a Leespluim. The story 'Een bril voor Vos' previously appeared in the AVI growth book 'Dit is Vos'. But it is now available as a picture book – with the original text! For children aged 4 and up.
