What makes a
Tattered Fox book?

01

Un-put-downable

Books children muster up in bed after lights out. Because they have to read just one more page.

02

Honest

Books that treat kids smart. No talking down, just real-world views wrapped in story.

03

Memorable

Characters and moments that stick with a child long past childhood.

04

Beautiful

Illustrations worth staring at. Art that tells half the story before the words begin.
