Curious animal lovers will likely answer with a resounding yes when they see the creatures profiled in the Do You Really Want to Meet . . .? series. Using a picture-book format, each volume follows a fictional child on a journey to visit an interesting animal in the wild. In Fox, the common but elusive red fox attracts a child's attention. At dusk, the boy ventures out, where (at a safe distance) he observes a fox stalk and pounce upon a rodent hidden beneath the snow. Friendly paintings illustrate the text, incorporating scientifically accurate depictions of the animals, especially when it comes to showing their size; the text directly poses questions to readers as it describes the featured animal. Each closing spread in these approachable animal introductions consists of a range map and brief glossary of terms.
