Illustrator Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen and wife Robbyn team up again for another wildlife tale drawn from their encounters with the animal kingdom. Told in journal form and rendered in beautifully detailed artwork, the van Frankenhuyzens give a "day in the life" view as the fox Samantha begins her journey from injured kit to independent adult living on her own.Always respecting the boundaries between the wild and the human ways of life and based on years of work as licensed wildlife rehabilitators, Gijsbert and Robbyn recommend readers "do not try this at home." Saving Samantha is Gijsbert's fourteenth book with Sleeping Bear Press. He has also illustrated the best-selling The Legend of Sleeping Bear, The Legend of Leelanau, and most recently The Edmund Fitzgerald: Song of the Bell. He and Robbyn live with their daughters in Bath, Michigan, on a 40-acre farm. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

As a fox lover, and a reader with a decided predilection for touching animal tales, I was quite excited to read Saving Samantha, even going so far as to convince my local public library to order a copy, as none of the libraries in our county system had it in their collections. In the end, however, I think that I preferred the artwork to the text, which I found somewhat disjointed - perhaps as a result of being based on Robbyn Smith van Frankenhuyzen's journal, kept while she was raising Samantha? - and not as emotionally resonant as I had expected it to be. I don't want to overstate the case, since this was still a moderately enjoyable (and informative) book, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to young animal lovers and fox fans, but I think Cherie Mason's Wild Fox: A True Story, which contains a similar tale of a woman nursing a wild fox back to health, is a superior work.
