The Reading Days are almost over! The chosen Picture Book of the Year is Rinus, we wrote about that book before. But today we want to introduce you to our chosen picture book of 2025: Fox & Son - Tailers. Fox & Son is a very original picture book! A funny story about a young fox, Robbie, and his father, who has a shop in tails.
Robbie's father makes such neat tails that all kinds of animals from all over the country, who need a beautiful, new tail, come to his shop. Fox learned the tailer trade from his father. His Father also learned the trade from his Father and he also learned it from his father, which was Robbie's great-grandfather! Robbie helps his dad really well in the shop. Together they measure the customers for theit new tails. Robbie brings everything and clears up again. He is a good help!
But Robbie finds these tails so boring, they should be much more fun! Robbie likes to draw and soon he draws the most extravagant tails, long or short they're all fantastic and brightly coloured. Dad says: you may throw that in the trash, nobody wants such a strange tail.
Hm ...what do you think? Who would be right, Daddy Fox or Robbie? You can read it in this funny, cheerful picture book, made by Irish author/illustrator Paddy Donnelly, He wrote and illustrated this super fun book, Do read this book, quickly!
