Amazingly, it is usually things that I would never have noticed and then I find them interesting too. I have learned that Rags has a special bark when he is on the trail of a fox. I think he really wants me to know how clever he is to have picked up the scent.\u003cbr\u003eThis story about the adventure with Mrs Fox is true. Rags did search out the fox in his garden. We did find Mrs Fox in the woods watching us as we watched her. On another day, we really did find the baby foxes playing 'catch' in the woods. The scene with the chicken, well that was also true. Mrs Fox had to feed her babies and as the story shows, she was very good at that.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51452102705375,"sku":"9781035830145","price":11.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/WMu4IOdr_A9781035830145.webp?v=1790283056"},{"product_id":"hattie-hook-goes-to-school-paperback","title":"Hattie Hook Goes to School - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eStarting school is a huge hurdle for many children.
