The Adventures of Freddie Fox

Freddie is a fox – maybe not a real, real live fox, but very real indeed – that is as real as one can be if they are stuffed with cotton under their fur coat. Fully grown and ready to face the world, Freddie's left his home and taken up a job at Harald's Department Store, looking after a group of rambuncious toy animals. Life is pretty simple for Freddie until one night the toys escape their shelves to go explore the other departments. Adventure and mishap ensue as Freddie tries to wrangle all the toys back into their shelves before lights out!

My husband and I bought a toy fox and a small bear for our new grand daughter while visiting in London. We then traveled through France with these furry toy animals before arriving back in the States. While driving through France, I dreamt up several stories about the animals escapades. When our Grand Daughter first saw the little bear she snuggled up to him immediately and I named him London Bear. As Pagie grew older she became great friends with the fox and we named him Freddie Fox. Pagie visited us quite often and when she did she immediately sought out her two friends to play with. We spent many fun days making up stories about them and this is one of them.
