What is Little red fox about?

Little Red Fox is alone in the great wood until kind Mr and Mrs Badger take him into their family. Living with Bill and Bonny, he enjoys new friends, warm meals and exciting adventures, though he does not always behave as well as the little badgers. Soon, danger arrives when his wicked uncle begins plotting to kidnap him. With courage, cleverness and a little magic from the moonlit woodland, Little Red Fox must find a way to keep himself and his new family safe.
