"This riveting picture book introduces foxes through encouraging words and exceptional color photos. Beautifully composed and lit, Saarinen’s photos invite comparison with the work of the best nature photographers in children’s books…. A captivating book for animal lovers."

"Deftly capturing the majesty, mystery, and downright good looks of foxes, this book is the rarity that proves the rule. Kids don’t get enough truly great photography on their shelves. All the more reason to hand them this, if only to watch their eyes pop right out of their little heads. From rollicking cubs, to extreme close-ups, to landscape shots where the fox is simply a small figure against a sweeping autumnal background, the variety of images is part of the book’s unique lure. You’re simply not going to find a book with photographs of foxes quite as good as this one for kids out there."
—Elizabeth Bird, Fuse #8 blog, School Library Journal
"One of this year’s best picture books."
——Julie Danielson, 7 Impossible Things Before Breakfast blog
"Fun and informative, How to Find a Fox is an ideal and highly recommended addition to family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library Wildlife picture book collections."
