A second book that we are reading is Little Foxes by Michael Morpurgo.

I enjoy this book because of the adventure in it and the detailed description within the plot. It is about a boy named Billy Bunch found abandoned and went to many foster homes and everyone rejected him, all except one... This one lady kept him and there he discovered “The Wilderness’’ and there he found a mound of foxes until 4/5 where killed. He tried to save that one fox and his only choice was to run away into the hills.

I find that Michael Morpurgo is a talented subsequently when you read his work you feel the words washing around you and you are taken to the land where you feel you’re part of the action.

 Little Foxes is a book which features a boy named Billy who is fostered by a lady who is sick of him because when he comes home he smells rotten and is filthy because he plays with 4 little foxes after the vixen died. He is lazy and the teachers don’t even like him because he never speaks, or if he does, he murmurs words out. Every lunch, he brings corned beef to lunch to feed the foxes and they gobble it down and drinks the milk powder mixed with lake water. He isn’t popular at all but he doesn’t care. This book keeps me thinking what is going to happen next, I am thinking what the foxes will do. He is thinking of the foxes but not the swan who left him. Every time he comes he hopes it will be there. It is based on a boy who loves nature and loves the foxes.
