Feeling jealous over the attentions given his new baby sibling, a little fox runs away from home, in the first story in this treasury. In other stories, a bear can't get to sleep and keeps disturbing his friends; a hungry ginger cat goes looking for some milk; and a toddler asks his mother to tell him a story. This collection of four stories for prereaders is illustrated with Atsuko Morozumi's detailed, dimensionally shaded watercolor drawings, and includes four «picture stories» — busy, two-page scenes where so much is going on that youngsters can make up their own stories.
