Because of problems with my computer and e-reader my I didn't read the book and my copy has expired.

2nd in a part 4 series but i could easily read as a standalone
Lovely illustrations & has a good story.
This one gave me some good smiles.

For some reason, I was unable to get the file for this to work, which is a true shame because the little I saw looked pretty interesting.

A fun addition to the linked series Beneath the Trees. The back and forth between the two foxes is amusing, though it maybe goes on a bit long. Quite well illustrated.

Beneath the Trees is a 4 part series with each book being set in a different season in the forest. The art is absolutely adorable. I would love to see all four books combined into one volume. The story is about a fox trying to impress a girl, but he just keeps making a fool of himself. It was a very short read, but I loved it.

An easy read, and an entertaining one, about a fox who was alone on winter time. Then he met a pretty fox, but didn't know how to ask her out. And through a series of mishaps, they found each other, in a funny comical way. The comic was entertaining to the point that I didn't expect it to end so soon. One interesting read and a recommended one.

Thank you Netgalley for this book in exchange for a review. Beneath the Trees is a fun and lovely story that is very engaging. The illustrations are beautiful and the storytelling is hilarious. The two main characters are such a duo and it's incredibly funny reading and relatable about mishaps and adventures they go on. Highly recommend!

It’s winter and Mr. Fox is having a world of trouble with his scarf of misfortune. He constantly trips over it and gets it caught on things. It has the tendency to want to strangle him any chance it gets. Already frustrated and embarrassed, Mr. Fox becomes increasingly mortified when his struggles catch the attention of a pretty lady fox.

Mr. Fox gave me some Wile E. Coyote vibes. Anything that could go wrong with this scarf did and the part of me that wasn’t smiling at Mr. Fox’s expressions as his misfortune multiplied wanted to tell him that if he wrapped the scarf just a few more times around his neck, he’d be warmer and there’d be the added bonus of it no longer being a trip hazard. That would have taken all the fun out of it, though, so I stayed quiet.

There’s a cameo from Grumpf, from The Autumn of Mister Grumpf, who still seems pretty grumpy. At least he doesn’t have to worry about autumn leaves piling up outside his door anymore.

The illustrations are just as endearing as the ones in the first book of the series. The animals are so expressive and the colours, even in winter, are vibrant.

I’m looking forward to finding out what happens Beneath the Trees in spring.

Thank you so much to NetGalley, Magnetic Press and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the opportunity to read this picture book.

These books are just too cute! I love how all the animals want to help each other. The male fox finds himself smitten with a female fox, but he keeps embarrassing himself when he tries to talk to her, and she doesn't seemed fazed by this at all.

Mr. Fox is out on a cold, winter's day but his oversized scarf makes it difficult to avoid branches and slippery slopes. It really doesn't help that a pretty fox is out and about as well and sees him falling on his face. Utterly embarrassed, Mr. Fox trudges off on his way home alone but quickly finds himself in trouble. Will he find the help he needs?

This is such a cute story about a shy and unfortunate fox that finds a friend after all.

The Disney-inspired illustration style is lovely, with super cute animal characters, and is presented as wordless sequential art. Mr. Fox's misfortune is quite comical and had my six-year-old in hysterics.
There's also a cute little 'romance' added to the thick of the story that balances the comedy quite well.

I loved that Mister Grumpf, whom we were introduced to in the first book in this seasonal series, The Autumn of Mister Grumpf, had a small cameo in this sequel. I was expecting the story to be about him again and was surprised by the new characters but loved that there is a sense of community within this series so far!
We are looking forward to seeing what comes in Spring!

The kids will like this book. It will seem like a much harder book than it is to the beginning readers,, but it will be easy enough for them to be able to read it and feel like a champion. The pictures practically tell the story themselves. The story is entertaining enough for older readers and they'll like the break from solid pages of words.

Beneath the Trees : Winter Chills by Dav was a short and sweet comic about a fox getting into a fight with his long scarf in front of a girl fox. It read just like a Disney animated short and was a cute read, perfect for winter, and the art was beautiful.

This Young Fox, a long Scarf and a young pretty vixen. Brilliant illustrations to coven the messages of winter. Me and my son loved seeing the glimpses into each characters home. Great fun story for any age or language. It's a very cute story of two young cute animals.

'Beneath the Trees: Winter Chills' with story and art by Dav is the second volume in a graphic novel series that takes place in the woods.

This time around, it's Winter. A fox with a long scarf is trying to stay warm. He keeps getting tangled in his long scarf and frustrated. He tries to flirt with another fox and his mishaps just get worse, and he thinks she is laughing at him. Along the way, we see a certain familiar character from the last story.

The art and story feels like a classic animated short, and I really liked it. The storytelling is great and the artist really knows how to tell a story with characters.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Magnetic Press, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

I am so glad that I found these lovely children's picture books by Dav; not only are they beautifully illustrated, the story is sweet and funny [and short enough that little littles won't get bored and long enough for regular littles to fully enjoy the story] and offers plenty of opportunities for parents and caregivers to talk about what is going on with Mr. Fox and how it isn't a bad thing to ask for help when it is needed and how to find humor in situations that don't seem obviously funny. It also shows how to talk to someone you might be shy around and how that can lead to a lovely friendship. Overall, this is simply a gorgeous book and perfect for a cold winter's day. I am really looking forward to a book all about Spring!! :-)

Thank you to NetGalley, Dav, and Diamond Book Distributors/Magnetic Press for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Charming illustrations (hearkening back to Disney cel-based animated movies of the past) show a fox contending with his too-long scarf as he trudges through a snowy forest. After a series of clumsy mishaps, many of which are witnessed by a pretty vixen, the fox discards the hated scarf, only to find it comes in handy later.

I felt sorry for the fox as he just kept getting covered in snow or falling down, but I loved the illustrations. I could feel the cold air and the snow on the back of my neck every time the poor fox ended up covered in the white stuff.

Thank you to Netgalley and to Diamond Book Distributors for this ARC in exchange for my review.

Friends, this was such a cute and precious graphic novel to read. You all know I’m a sucker for books that are wholesome and make me want to tell all of those I care for, how much I love them. And this book does just that. I had warm little fuzzies bloom throughout me as I read this short graphic novel. Yes, I said short, but we’ll get to that later in this review. Truly, though, if you’re looking for a short, wholesome story about a fox finding love then look no further.

Our story is about Mr. Fox who’s struggling with this long red scarf. He keeps tripping and face planting in the snow, and many on lookers wonder if he may need help. But that’s not the only struggle Mr. Fox finds himself having. Enter Ms. Fox who’s chilly and just passing through this small, woodland hometown. It’s then that our main star, Mr. Fox discovers her in a clearing and is instantly swooned.

I loved this graphic novel. Though this graphic novel is short, there’s so many wholesome elements. The first being how adorable the interaction between Mr. Fox and Ms. Fox. Both of these characters are adorable in their little actions and even when they come together. It’s truly precious and it reminds you that love can be found even in the most unlikeliest places and in the most simplest of ways.

I also want to point out the symbolism of the red scarf. I don’t know about anyone else, but I instantly thought of The Red String of Fate Theory. For those who are unfamiliar with this theory; The Red String of Fate Theory or Red Thread of Fate, refers to an ancient Asian myth of love. According to myth, the gods tie an invisible string around the ankles of those who are destined to meet on another, in a certain situation or to help each other in a certain way. This myth is reference in Chinese myth around love, but in Japanese legend this is slightly different. In Japanese legend, red strings are tied to the pinky of one person and the pointer finger of another person. All of this is also incredibly similar to Western legend/concept of soulmates or twin flames. And honestly, if the author was doing their version of this with the red scarf, I’m here for it ten-fold! This would probably be my second time seeing The Red String of Fate being shown in literature, outside of myths and legends.

Now, I truly love this graphic novel, but the only thing I wished was different was the length. I wish this graphic novel was a bit longer or we got to see Mr. Fox and Ms. Fox get to know one another. However, despite the length, I still gave this graphic novel five stars because I truly enjoyed it so much. And honestly, the length didn’t bother me that much especially when I was flying through this book, wanting to know what was going to happen with Mr. Fox and his red scarf.

Overall, I really enjoyed this graphic novel. I think many readers are going to fall in love with the wholesomeness and the cuteness of this book. I’d even go as far to say that many parents will read or show their kids this book. However, I think the length will be bothersome for some readers or there will be readers who don’t appreciate the story itself because from the outside, this looks to just be a story about a fox who has scarf issues. I, however, really enjoyed this book and I’m really glad I got the chance to point out the potential Red String of Fate Theory of this book. I’m eager to see if the author will mention what inspired this story and whether or not that myth had any play in the story. But friends, if you want a wholesome quick read, I can’t recommend this little graphic novel enough. Truly, I enjoyed it and all the warm fuzzies it gave me. Plus, if you need a short break from those chonky fantasy reads, this is the perfect read for that short break!

An utterly charming comic. It is beautifully illustrated and has witty dialogue. It feels as if Jeff Smith and Walt Disney got together to make a short about a klutzy Fox making a fool of himself. It is so warm hearted. Despite the slapstick, it hasn't got a mean bone in its body. Wonderful stuff. The only complaint is about its length. I wanted more. The story is superbly paced, the characters are charismatic, and it is funny. A perfect present for Christmas.

Dav does really clever stuff with his sequential storytelling that turns a rather straightforward story into something magical.

Lovely illustrations in this second installment of the four-book series. It can be read as a standalone just like the first autumn installment. The main trouble this time was about a fox wearing a very long red scarf and he keeps tripping on it. He refuses help from the forest animals until he spots a female fox - love at first sight. He doesn't want to embarrass himself but the scarf gets in the way! Despite the repetitiveness of the slapstick, I adore the choice of colors like soft blues and whites to portray the winter time. The contrast colors of the animals such as the foxes stands out and facial expressions are on point for children to identify. Overall a nice winter read for children!

Mr. Fox is having trouble with his very, VERY long scarf. He trips and falls repeatedly, which is pretty embarrassing when he spies a lady fox he'd like to impress.

This is some silly, slapstick fun for kids (and discerning grownups). The artwork is lovely, and there are tons of laugh-out-loud moments. PLUS, there's a big old AWWWW ending.

Reading this made my day!

Look for it mid-December.
