Mama cat has seven kittens. Little Reynard is the smallest, and his brothers and sisters tease him about his size and his orange color. Because he is so small and timid, the little girl, Lily, takes special care of Little Reynard. She gives him his own bowl and even lets him sleep on her pillow, yet sometimes he still feels he doesn’t really belong. Then one cold winter day Little Reynard peers out of an open window and sees two young foxes that look very much like him, and when the foxes invite him to join them, Little Reynard says yes!
In their second picture-book collaboration, following Come Meet Muffin!, acclaimed author Joyce Carol Oates and artist Mark Graham introduce an irresistible feline character who will make himself at home in your heart.

Excerpt
One afternoon on a cold winter day, Little Reynard discovered a window open and climed onto the sill to sniff the air. What a surprise he saw! In the woods close to the house, a mother fox was grooming her cubs, and they looked like HIM. |
