![]() Yes, I said short, but we’ll get to that later in this review. I had warm little fuzzies bloom throughout me as I read this short graphic novel. You all know I’m a sucker for books that are wholesome and make me want to tell all of those I care for, how much I love them. This review is being published before the release date (December 14th 2021)įriends, this was such a cute and precious graphic novel to read. We are looking forward to seeing what comes in Spring! I was expecting the story to be about him again and was surprised by the new characters but loved that there is a sense of community within this series so far! I loved that Mister Grumpf, whom we were introduced to in the first book in this seasonal series, The Autumn of Mister Grumpf, had a small cameo in this sequel. There's also a cute little 'romance' added to the thick of the story that balances the comedy quite well. Fox's misfortune is quite comical and had my six-year-old in hysterics. The Disney-inspired illustration style is lovely, with super cute animal characters, and is presented as wordless sequential art. This is such a cute story about a shy and unfortunate fox that finds a friend after all. Fox trudges off on his way home alone but quickly finds himself in trouble. It really doesn't help that a pretty fox is out and about as well and sees him falling on his face. Fox is out on a cold, winter's day but his oversized scarf makes it difficult to avoid branches and slippery slopes. Thank you so much to NetGalley, Magnetic Press and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the opportunity to read this picture book. I’m looking forward to finding out what happens Beneath the Trees in spring. The animals are so expressive and the colours, even in winter, are vibrant. The illustrations are just as endearing as the ones in the first book of the series. At least he doesn’t have to worry about autumn leaves piling up outside his door anymore. There’s a cameo from Grumpf, from The Autumn of Mister Grumpf, who still seems pretty grumpy. That would have taken all the fun out of it, though, so I stayed quiet. Fox’s expressions as his misfortune multiplied wanted to tell him that if he wrapped the scarf just a few more times around his neck, he’d be warmer and there’d be the added bonus of it no longer being a trip hazard. Anything that could go wrong with this scarf did and the part of me that wasn’t smiling at Mr. Fox becomes increasingly mortified when his struggles catch the attention of a pretty lady fox. It has the tendency to want to strangle him any chance it gets. He constantly trips over it and gets it caught on things. Fox is having a world of trouble with his scarf of misfortune. If done right, he could be a big part of an awesome story.It’s winter and Mr. Unlike his parents, who gained their powers from the radiation of the Negative Zone, Franklin was born a mutant-and a mutant of godlike power, at that, strong enough as a child to create his own universe. Being celebrities, they can contrast with the heroes who keep their identities a secret.Īnother interesting character related to the Fantastic Four coming Disney's way is also one of the ones that Fox's movies never got to-Franklin Richards, the son of Reed Richards and Sue Storm. And now, instead of having to inhabit their own universe, they'll get to interact with the same panoply of heroes they do in the comics, like Ant-Man, Spider-Man and more. But really, it's a matter of tone, and the Fantastic Four could easily slot into the tone of the MCU as it currently exists. Some have argued that the team is just too corny-that a stretchy man and a rock monster aren't as interesting as myriad mutants or a deep roster of Avengers. Even though they've appeared in three movies by now, the Fantastic Four have never truly "worked" onscreen. ![]()
