She lives in Glasgow and spends a lot of time on stage performing her brilliant sell-out singalong shows! Julia Donaldson has written some of the world's best-loved children's books, including modern classics The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child , which together have sold over 17 million copies worldwide, and the hugely successful What the Ladybird Heard adventures.The book engages the reader through the use of a flap on each page, which reveals an item of clothing for the fox to put on.

Cupar has fun finding the mouse and pointing him out, which adds an extra bit of interaction to the story. Bonny recommended this one for Charlie (and me) after he dressed up as a Fox (in a vest) for Halloween 2015. I hadn’t seen this book before we got it, so it was nice to have a completely new one for me to read and discover at the same time as Cupar.

Changed to from 4 stars to 5 stars based on a one-year-old’s immediate love for this book (and insistence on reading it four more times in a row. We work separately – he’s in London and I’m in Glasgow – but he sends me letters with lovely funny pictures on the envelopes. Very young children will love lifting the flaps to help the fox to find his socks, but they will undoubtedly also point out all the other socks that appear to be lying around the house.
