“Awesome book for children wondering if they should be doing what everyone else is doing, which we know has been an issue with most people since creation.  Also letting them know God's love is individual.”

“Dominic Fox goes for a walk’ has quickly become a favorite read in our house. A whimsical and fun tale about a fox’s adventure walk with a “you can be anything” attitude. We love following alongside Dominic the fox and meeting all of his friends as he goes. The illustrations are so fun and colorful. And the rhyming story has us reading over and over! A must have addition to your little library.”

“Dominic the Fox Goes for a Walk” is a touching, memorable story that is a nostalgic tale of a young fox trying to find his place and explore what his future entails. The alliterative and rhyming structure allows for emerging readers to follow along as well as identify many of the words through the story’s phonetic emphasis. With colorful pictures and labels throughout the book, it captures the attention of the adolescent audience. From visually-appealing animal characters to bright automobiles throughout the book, the emphasis on the interests of children is apparent. The book can be used alongside a figurative language unit with examples of onomatopoeia, metaphors, alliteration, and rhyming. It would pair with an early elementary school social-emotional learning unit, focusing on abilities with an interwoven concentration on diversity. The culmination of the book finds the protagonist, Dominic, realizing the importance of being himself and the love of God being ever present. I highly recommend it as an addition to every home library.
