This picture book tugged at my heartstrings. A tale of the genuine friendship between a donkey and a fox. Different, yet similar. A ray of hope being not only being Clive and Humphrey's friendship, but a play they attend after finding tickets. It's an amazing truth that no matter how different we each may be, there is something that connects us all and may even illicit the same emotions and feelings. I love when I stumble on picture books or children's literature that can help you talk to younger readers about serious topics. This is one of those gems. There are some definite undertones of loneliness and poverty, and how it has a different impact on each of us. ( )

not a very satisfactory ending ( )

Clive Prendergast is a fox that lives successfully in the city... wasn't sure if the kids would like this one but they did. Great layered pictures. ( )
