Pablo Meets the Neighbours



Pablo Meets the Neighbours
by Keith Tutt

Summary: When fox cubs Pablo, Poppy, and Pumpkin decide to see what the human house near them is like, they make a big mess and the house's owners are not happy.

This is a humorous book that could be used for discussing appropriate behavior. After reading, an adult can discuss that everything has a place and that we should not feel bad for animals who live outdoors, bad behavior, and that the British spelling is different than American.
