Kolanovic's super cute story about the lengths Fox will do for their new friend, Goose, will leave you in smiles. The illustrations suit the story perfectly. This book will make any child or adult smile.

A goose has been left by his flock. His fox friend helps him to find them. They go on an adventure looking for the gaggle of geese. After they are reunited, the goose asks the fox to stay with them for the winter.

This is a great story about two friends who help each other out. One, after he is asked and the other without being asked. These are good concepts to introduce to children at this age. The book is not pushy or overdone but casually weaves this theme throughout.

My 4-year-old grandson loved the illustrations and said they were his favorite part because they were colorful.


I received an eBook ARC in exchange for an honest review. That in no way affects my opinion or rating of this book.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free e-copy for an honest review

This book is lovely, the art is simple in style but eye catching and appealing, very cute. The story too is simple about a fox who meets a lost goose and helps him find his flock. Lovely messages about friendship and loyalty and even has discussions and activities at the end of the book which would be useful in playgroups, I would definitely read to my Goddaughter and recommend this for parents.

It was love at first sight with this book. The artwork was simply beautiful! The story was very touching and heart warming and it shows what a true friend will do to make you happy. I loved everything about this book and I would definitely read it to my 2 year old niece. Excellent! Such a cute little picture book.

True Friends is a heartwarming story of an unlikely friendship between a fox and a goose. Fox finds Goose sad when she’s lost her flock. Fox promises to reconnect her with her flock by hauling her in his wheelbarrow. When that didn’t work they tried by train, then by boat, and eventually they reach the flock!
I especially enjoyed the Illustrations of the geese in this story, they were adorable. This story talks about a few different modes of transportation and also touches on bird migration. I think it’s a great preschool title!
Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for the chance to give my honest review. My opinions are my own.
