| ABC’s of the Bushkill Creek by Connie Hynes Miss Red the Fox is a young, scatterbrained teacher charged with teaching the alphabet to the fox kits along the Bushkill Creek. She wishes to teach the kits creatively, infusing them with wisdom they can use throughout their lives. On the morning of the lesson, Miss Red the Fox journeys from her den to the Education Den. Along the way, she experiences the sights, sounds, smells, flora and fauna of the Creek. She is amazed by all that she never noticed before. In ways obvious to the reader, yet not acknowledged by Miss Red the Fox, she encounters every letter in the alphabet in her natural surroundings. At the end of her journey, the fox gets her answer in a quiet flash of realization. |
