as Mama Fox surveys the land.
Little Fox wriggles in delight.
She is ready to explore.

Little Fox loves the click click click of the reindeer herd and the groooooar of the walrus. But new creatures are following her and Mama on their trek through the frozen tundra. As the storm rolls in, will these new creatures prove to be unexpected friends?
