Big Cat, Little Fox
Diane Davies reads Big Cat, Little Fox by Cheryl Stephani Illustrated by Margarita Sikorskaia
“Big Cat loves striking poses in her mirror. She’s happy with the way she looks, and the way she dances, until the other animals say that Little Fox is the most elegant dancer in all the woods. Big Cat tries to change her looks and moves to be like Little Fox. But Little Fox knows just what to do, and helps Big Cat to be her best by being herself.
Big Cat, Little Fox unleashes the power within you to be yourself—the key to being happy. It is a tale of community, friendship, and self-acceptance. Big Cat, Little Fox exposes children to types of music and dance, as well as animal movement and sound, increasing the level of interest for a wider audience. Literacy skills are supported through repetition, synonyms, and adjectives.”
