Fox Who Can Wait by Kateryna Dronova (Book Spotlight)

Help little readers learn the beauty of patience with this animal rhyming story book!

A cooking contest is bubbling deep in the bright green forest, and Bear, Rabbit, Mole, and Fox are ready to impress the wise judge, Owl. Each animal brings their favorite food – sweet honey, crisp carrots, scrumptious roots, and juicy berries. Everyone is excited… maybe a little too excited! Soon, things get sticky, gooey, and runny for everyone, except for clever Fox. What did he do differently?

The Fox Who Can Wait is a heartwarming moral story that teaches patience, kindness, and cooperation, and the gentle wisdom and self-control that come from taking your time. Through the fun and chaos of a forest cooking contest, children will see that good things truly come to those who wait!

Inside this forest storybook, they’ll learn:

  • Why being patient can be hard, but worth it
  • What impatience can look (and taste!) like
  • How rushing can turn even the best plans into a sticky, gooey mess
  • Why a calm heart and steady hands lead to success
  • That success tastes more delicious when it’s shared with friends!

With lovable forest animals, playful rhyme, and a sweet moral at its heart, this kids’ book about patience is perfect whether you have an impatient little one(s) learning to slow down, or you’re simply looking for a fun storybook with a meaningful lesson!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Reedsy Discovery.  I voluntarily chose to read and post an honest review.

 

We all, at some point, need inspiration on what to cook. Pictures of what people are eating and how-to videos for preparing different cuisines are hot commodities.  

If you’re lucky, you have a family recipe book that houses delicious food passed down from one generation to the next. Whether you have a book, binder, or recipe box full of recipes or want to start one of your own, I’d consider using My Secret Recipes by Pixie Publishing House. This cooking journal lets you store seventy-five recipes in one location.

Each card has basic information: recipe name, ingredients, and directions. There was also a serving size chat and preparation time. While this was standard information for a card, I was pleasantly surprised to see there was a place to mark which category the recipe falls under: vegetarian, dairy-free, low carb, sugar-free, and low salt. There are countless diets and dietary restrictions on the market, so this check box area benefits those seeking a specific recipe to fit their nutritional needs, families, and guests. 

Another feature that impressed me was the star rating. Have you ever looked through your recipe box and tried to remember if the food was a hit or miss? Was there an aspect of said recipe that needed tweaking? If so, this portion allows short notes. For instance, you could shade 3 out of five stars and add “too spicy” or “bland” under the rating system. 

My Secret Recipes would make an excellent housewarming gift. It would also be a fantastic idea for birthdays, bridal showers, Christmas, etc. It’s perfect for any gender, age, avid cooks, and individuals looking to spend more time in the kitchen and less on take-out. 

I recommend you purchase a copy for yourself and another for a friend or family member. And remember, “A recipe has no soul. You, as the cook, must bring soul to the recipe (Thomas Keller).”
