An excellent animal tale by a master storyteller, with a few illustrations by Harrison Cady. Old Granny Fox and the young Reddy are having a tough time finding food in the winter. Reddy Fox is quite the know-it-all and even mocks the older fox when he doesn't understand what she's doing but Granny is remarkably patient and shows him that he still has a lot to learn. Reddy Fox learns many lessons in life from his Granny.
