Cute plot… but a few weird things in it tho…
3By FoxAndBookGirl 🦊☕️📚💕For me this is kinda hard to review. It’s got such a cute plot but… it’s got a few inappropriate references. 🙄 I was kinda like, “this is such a cute book why does it have weird stuff in it?!?” 😏 It DID make me want a fox tho! I feel foxless now! 🤣 ~ #FoxAndBooksGirl 🦊📚☕️Amazing

5By CupCake0008I LOVED Pax a lot, when I finished reading the book it felt like all of the characters in the book also went away with the book, from Peters adventures all the way to Pax’s adventures. This book is great for 4-6 graders. 🥰E
