Little Fox. Playing in the Forest

Marja Baeten is a jack-of-many-trades. She started her career at Malmberg Publishing as an editor of the educative magazines Okki and Taptoe. As a freelance copywriter she worked for, among other things, the popular Dutch TV programs Sesame Street and Klokhuis; she wrote short stories that later became picture books, and she wrote various teaching methods for primary education. From 2000 Marja became an editor of the children’s magazines PIPPO and POMPOEN, and in 2005 she started developing a toddler magazine for the World Wildlife Fund called PipaPanda. The content of this magazine later became the source of inspiration for a series of compilations about wild animals.

"This was a cute and fun book for young readers.I really like the drawing with the words underneath to help kids learn some vocabulary and sight words. I also like the interactive pages at the end of each short story." - Morley Library"A book filled with a few stories, look and finds, and matching activities. The stories have picture clues so even the earliest of readers can help read. Good for preschool!" - Read Aloud Librarian"Little Fox, Playing in the Forest by Marja Baeten is a wonderful book for beginning readers. It contains three simple stories about Little Fox and his forest friends. The stories contain picture icons throughout which help preschoolers and early readers participate in reading the story. There are also little games and activities scattered throughout the book that children will enjoy completing as they read the stories. As a classroom teacher, this would be good to let young readers practice reading independently to help build confidence, learn new words, and help build fluency." - Elle's Shelves
