Aimed at younger readers (3-7 years old) this would be a wonderful read-along or read-to-me selection. There's a great range of potential for character voices and sound effects if you're reading this to your young ones.
Argyle Fox is a youngster whose outdoor playtime keeps getting interrupted by the wind. It blows down his card tower, messes up his yarn spider web, blows his pirate hat away, and wrecks his castle. When Argyle's mother encourages him to think creatively, he finds a solution that he can be happy with.
This book does a wonderful job of showing that challenges can be opportunities for learning and advancement and it does so without being strident or preachy. It's a lovely message of perseverance and innovation.
I really enjoyed this little book. The illustrations are beautifully done and are full of small subtle details that would enhance a co-op read through with a youngster.
Five stars. Adorable!
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
