Argyle Fox is a young fox who is determined to have a great time outside. Unfortunatley it is windy out and the wind does not cooperate. Everytime he gets an activity set up, the wind blows and wreaks havoc with his materials. His cards blow away, his spider net gets tangled, his castle collapses,
I loved Argyle Fox. He is a great character who wants to play outside. Everything he plays uses him imagination. He had such great ideas, too bad the wind did not cooperate with him. I loved that his mom just kept encouraging him to think of another activity instead of telling him what he could do, or worse yet, having him stay in the house and watch television or play on other technology devices. The illustrations are beautiful, colourful, detailed and full of expressions and helpful friends. This is a great book for family libraries as well as schools and classrooms. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.

his pirate hat blows off and his soccer ball ends up in a tree. He gets upset and goes in the house complaining. His mother encourages him to keep thinking because there is an activity that is perfect for a windy day. After lots of thinking, it comes to him. Kites are the best for windy days and he makes a wonderful one. When his friends see it, he makes more kites and they all join in the fun. I loved Argyle Fox.
