- [Review] Adventures of Rusty and Ginger Fox by Tim Ostermeyer
Posted by : Unknown
Friday, December 10, 2010
The Adventures of Rusty & Ginger Fox is a children's picture book that tell the tale of two fox pups as they explore the forest, learning about new creatures. There is also a tiny mystery tale in the end where the fox stumble upon a hidden treasure!
So, anyway, a brief back story. When I got the pitch to review the book, I squealed because it was cute! And when i finally got the book from the post office, here it was, in fully glory and read it as soon as I opened the package. Then again, I would have read it sooner had I not come home from work late after a Christmas party.
Packed with photos of wildlife, the book is one of the cutest things ever! The author is also the photographer of the stunning photos you'll see in the book. It must have taken him hours and hours and hours of waiting just to get that perfect shot! What I do adore about this book is that the photos do tie up to the narration in the book. However, I would have preferred if the author has worded the narration in rhymes or rhythmic syllables so the little ones would appreciate the story more. Oh, and myself included. I guess it would help me remember the whole book if it was rhymed! Not sure if the copy I got is an arc or the finished copy but I found a misspelled word and a grammatical error but no worries - maybe it would be fixed in the future books to be released by the author!
Rusty and Ginger and their new friends are just so cute, you have to get this book and see it for yourself! I also love the fun facts on the side of the pages about the animals and even humans! Of course, any additional information on some of our furry friends is a big plus for me!

I guess you don't condone fox hunting... Hunting and killing animals for sport--it really is so cruel and inhumane. I'm now realizing how inhumane. Anyway, I would love to look at the pictures, too. They would probably make me fall more in love with animals.
Hi Michelle!
I don't even like any form of hunting!! :( If I hear any cat, dog or chicken cry out at our village, my heart always breaks!
If you're going to Libreria on the 18th I'll bring the book over so you could see the photos :)
