From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5-A slim photo essay that records the life of one of the smaller members of the canine clan, including physical characteristics, diet, foraging techniques, and the rearing of young. There is no index, but the concise nature of the readable text makes specific information available with modest effort, particularly as the many crisp, full-color photographs are carefully placed to match. (A double-page view of a large polar bear objecting strenuously to his tiny agile tagalong is particularly dramatic.) The foxes are shown in their typical winter and summer colorations, and also in the rarer dark "blue" coat. There is not much mention of the difficulties in surviving harsh winters, or of the high mortality rate among young adult foxes during their first winter season. Still and all, this is an attractive, informative book on an animal often selected by children doing "polar research."-Patricia Manning, Eastchester Public Library, NY

From Booklist
Gr. 2^-4. Brief text fills in background information on a member of the canine family that survives in the cruel climate of the North Pole. In short sentences with fairly easy vocabulary, Matthews explains that Arctic foxes mate for life, share pup-care duties, bury extra food to retrieve later, and live in dens that may have existed for thousands of years. Fortunate to have a subject whose appearance changes drastically over its life and during the seasons, photographers Guravich and Ovsyanikov capture the fox in a fascinating variety of pictures, also showing the fox in action--running by a polar bear, stealing goose eggs, and fighting with angry goose parents. A book that will satisfy most report demands and may attract browsers with its enticing jacket. Susan Dove Lempke
