Red Fox
Megan's fine post about The Discovery Channel's Life series reminded me how much my country life has become citified over the years I've lived here. When I first moved to my country setting thirty some years ago, nature abounded. Deer, raccoons, squirrels, skunk, opossum and even an occasional bob cat used our five acres to either bed down for the night or as a passageway from one point to another. Owls, hawks and songbirds were regular visitors to our woodlands. Over the years new homes, increased population and a thirteen plot subdivision have clearly had an affect on my wildlife spotting. Red foxes / by Doran and Jane Whitledge. or many of the other books we own about mammals that can be found in the 599 section of the library. Years ago one of my favorite stories that my dad would tell was The Gingerbread Man with his cry of "You can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man". Terrified but with childish delight I shivered as the sly old fox outsmarted the gingerbread man and ate him with a snap! There are so many variations of this folk tale that you shouldn't have any trouble finding one. This from our collection: Chicken Little / Ed Emberley and Rebecca Emberley. And last but not least I've been waiting for my name to come up for this dvd. Hear this movie based on the book by Roald Dahl is quite entertaining. |
