Foxy has a special talent: He is magically able to produce anything he needs from his bushy red tail.
Sometimes Foxy comes up with the wrong solutions, such as the time he tried to give his friend Emily an eraser for school and gave her an elephant instead!
Fortunately, Foxy's magic mishaps can always be fixed. And he knows that some very important things—like making new friends—don't require any magic at all.
In this humorous tale of friendship, award-winning author-illustrator Emma Dodd introduces a truly endearing new character with a great big heart.
Emma Dodd wanted to be an illustrator as far back as she can remember. Her parents were both designers, and she grew up in a home near London that was filled with pencils and pens and papers and books. Emma studied graphic design and illustration at Central Saint Martins School of Art, London, and has worked in advertising, editorial, and book illustration. The recipient of several distinguished awards for her picture books, which have been published in the US and the UK, she recently won the prestigious 2010 Booktrust Early Years Award, given by the UK's most important literacy charity. Emma lives in England with her husband and two children and their Jack Russell terrier, Bart.
