Each book in the "Animal Neighbours" series covers such topics as the life cycle of the featured animal, its habitat, food chains, and threats, and also gives clues on how to find the animal in the children's local environment.

Following the life cycle of the fox, this book shows its life from a cub's first steps out of its den to finding a mate.

It looks at some of the different habitats that are the fox's home, from urban gardens to remote woodlands, and at some of the threats facing foxes today and why some people see them as pests.

The text also shows how you can be an "animal detective" and find out if a fox has been in your neighbourhood.

It includes an animal map, locator map, life cycle summary and "unusual fact" boxes.
