Once there was a Fox who lived in a deep, dense forest. For as long as Fox could remember, his only friend has been Star, who lit the forest paths for Fox each night. But then one night, Star was not there, and Fox had to face the darkness all alone..." At first the fox hides from the dark and is scared, but eventually he decides he can’t hide forever and he goes looking for his star. What he finds isn’t just his start, but millions of other stars as well. He learns to never give up. The story follows a young fox who is friends with a star, until the star vanishes and he has to make his own way in the world. The story itself is simple and charming, and the little character of the fox does shine through. He's playful and adventurous, and filled with life which means he definitely draws your focus and propels you thought the story. Livro visualmente muito bonito mas, como se costuma dizer, com "muita parra e pouca uva", ou seja, tinha potencialidades para ser muito mais. A história é fraquinha. Salvam-se as imagens apesar de, mesmo essas, se tornarem repetitivas. This would make a fun holiday gift for younger kids or new parents to be or even big kids like me that just love beautiful books and illustrations! This is the kind of book that you want to actually buy a physical copy of…sure ebooks are always nice and convenient but books like this can’t be done justice on a computer screen. You need to feel them in you hands to fully appreciate both their story and their illustrations. Do you self (or your loved one) a favor and buy them the hard copy!This was lovely. Poetry is the most artful form of the written word; it is careful and selective. Each word, each piece of punctuation, each syllable, is weighed carefully to produce an image or sensation to the highest effect. This isn’t poetry, though the same close attention to detail can be seen. a really pretty book, using a minimal colour palette and a really distinct style - feeling in places like etchings, in places like fancy wallpaper 😉 Hay tantos detalles en cada una de las imágenes. Te puedes quedar mucho tiempo mirándolas, comunican, tienen su lenguaje propio. Hay un excelente uso de los colores. La historia inicia con colores vivos, cuando zorro cuenta con estrella, pero cuando estrella desaparece, las ilustraciones se tornan más oscuras y grises. A medida que zorro evoluciona como personaje, los colores comienzan a volver poco a poco.

It's great ... Individual, elegantly and impeccably designed, and with a touching story; and it's technically and graphically intriguing -- David Gentleman stars for the beautiful illustrations, the cover and the way of how it was written - absolutely fantastic! One of those stories that will be appreciated more each time it is read... perfect for both young, and the not-so-young.The Fox and the Star was the winner of the 2015 Waterstones Book of the Year Award. Other titles on the award's shortlist had included: Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman, SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome by Mary Beard; My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante; Reasons to Stay Alive by Matt Haig; The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins; The Shepherd's Life by James Rebanks and A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara.
