Adorable and perfect for young children, this sweetly innocent and beautifully illustrated children's book encourages creative thinking, perseverance, and positive thinking. Both my young sons were very entertained by it, and quickly caught onto the storyline, making "whooshing" sound effects to accompany the flow of the story and guessing at the end results of Argyle the Fox's endeavors to have fun. We've already read it twice and they loved it to pieces. I found it greatly entertaining myself and loved the colorful cast of woodland creatures and the many ideas for activities it provided, even if most of them aren't ideal for playing in the wind.

I received an e-version book from netgalley.com. I enjoyed reading this story. I think my 8-yr-old would've enjoyed this story, as well. It tells about the little fox figuring out what he can do in windy weather. It was nice story about childhood creativity.

Oh my, do I adore Argyle Fox! The sweet character, gorgeous illustrations and story about finding a creative solution in a difficult situation. I paged through this little book as eager as a child. 5/5

Thanks to the author, NetGalley and Tanglewood Publishing for the ARC. Opinions are mine.

I received a free ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was an adorable book. The pictures were so sweet and colorful. It presented the important message about not giving up and rethinking a situation. A very cute read.

A wonderfully fun book for kids! What a wonderful story and beautiful illustrations! I highly recommend this book.

A delightful tale of a young fox. Argyle (apparently so-named because he likes to knit and wear argyle clothing) wants to play outside. His friends (beaver, badger, etc.) tell him it won't work. His efforts are unsuccessful due to a whooshing wind. But he keeps trying.

Eventually, he gives up, What can he do? Discouraged, he returns to his room. Of course, Mama Fox tries to encourage him, suggesting he find something to do in the wind. Eureka! He goes to work on a new project. What is it? A kite, of course. A sweet story with great illustrations. Five stars.

This is an absolutely adorable picture book for young readers. I love Argyle Fox and his silly antics and look forward to future publications featuring this lovable character. The story is fun and engaging and the illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. This is a must read!

A sweet book about Argyle the Fox, who just wants to play outside on a windy day. He tries time and time again, but the wind keeps blowing away all his toys, and ruining the fun... so Argyle has so come up with a solution. What would you play with on a windy day?

I have received a much appreciated digital copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

The soft and detailed illustrations beautifully capture the perfection of both the natural setting, and of the sweetness of the animals of the woods. I love the details like the birch twig flag pole and the little white tea lights that are draped over Argyle's real tree canopy bed.
The curiosity and personality of the animals in the backgrounds, like the beavers surprised eyeballs watching the newspaper folded hat Wooosh away in the wind, to the white tip bushy tail fox checking out his mailbox, display feelings in their expressions during each small moment.
A cute story of perseverance and patience when you have to change a plan. The narrative serves for a model for picking yourself up and dusting yourself off through the small tangles. Sometimes you cannot control a situation, and if you can unravel what you can control, you might just find, the best situation for that moment after all.

Really cute illustrations, but the story fell a little flat for me. It's not a bad story, but nothing that makes it really stand out.

When I saw the cover, I knew I had to read this book. I love the title and the artwork. As a pediatric nurse and certified educator, I see special needs children get frustrated when they get thwarted by outside forces, yet time and again I see them persevere until they figure out a way to accomplish their goals. This book would be perfect for an elementary classroom.

I love this book! Not only is the story adorable but the artwork is beautiful. The story is basic without insulting children's intelligence. Plus, it encourages kids to be creative, think about their surroundings, to build things, to have independence, to keep trying new things and to share! A nice, subtle touch I appreciated was showing the fox picking up their toys when they're frustrated with none of them working. I just cannot more highly recommend this book.

The story and illustrations in this book are so cute and adorable. Love that it encourages problem solving and teaches perseverance. My three littles ages seven, four, and two really enjoyed the story and asked for it to be read again and again.

Very cute. A very persistent little fox searches for something he can do on a windy day.

Fun, book with a lovely lesson. It would make a good gift book.

The pictures are cute and offer young readers a warm feeling; there is a lot of detail in these drawings. I like that there are very few white spaces; most of the pictures take a whole page. The story is about a little fox that is very persistent and is trying to find an appropriate game for a windy day, which he does at the end. There is a repetitive pattern within the story as the little fox is trying to reach his goal and this pattern will help bring young readers into the story. Teachers and parents alike will find many ideas to discuss with their kids making this a great read-a-loud book. Beautiful story. I received a free copy via NetGalley.

I read this with my son and we both really enjoyed it! I love that the story allows Argyle Fox to make mistakes and learn from them. His mother cautions him in the beginning, but (like most children) he's determined to try despite her warning.

We're always telling our son to think about things. We ask a lot of questions to try and encourage him to find his own solutions. Why did that happen? Where does that come from? It's so fun to watch his little mind come up with answers. Mama Fox doesn't just give her son a solution, but tells him to think of one, which he eventually does.

I did have two minor issues with the book, but only because they didn't really make sense. One of the examples was a soccer ball being blown into a tree by the wind, but I've personally never experienced a spring breeze with such force. The other illustrations were more believable. The second thing was Argyle Fox wrapping his new idea and labeling it "Top Secret." The next page has him running outside with the package, but then it's open and he's using it, so why wrap it at all?

It's an incredibly cute story about a child that needed to fail in order to succeed.

Argyle Fox struggles to find a game he can play that won't be disrupted by the wind. As he comes up with new, inventive ways to play, the wind thwarts his attempts at every turn. The illustrations are quirky with adorable woodland animals on every page. The illustrations are very charming, thought I wish the color was a little saturated. (This might be a problem with reading it on the computer versus reading a physical copy, but I don't think it is.) All-in-all, a sweet book about the power of imagination, perseverance and creativity.

Argyle Fox is the cutest!!!! The illustrations of this book were divine and fit each scene to perfection! This story reminded me of the Little Red Hen in a way but I loved how it teaches kids a few lessons. First to always pick up your things that get scattered outside when you are finished playing with them. Second to never give up because there is always a solution to your problems! Third, the last page shows Argyle making free kites for his so kids will be encouraged to share and to solve problems that they share with their friends!

I would highly recommend this story to elementary school teachers, librarians, and parents! i am going to purchase a copy of this book for my son's preschool class!

Cute story about a fox who wants to play outside but the wind keeps spoiling all his games. Will he find something to do that works WITH the wind, so the wind won't spoil his fun?! Really cute illustrations, and an engaging story for preschoolers and their parents both!
