Bookworm Fox Reading Under an Autumn Tree
Coloring guide
Leaning back against a big tree trunk, a little fox holds an open book in both paws and smiles as it reads. Its bushy tail curls up beside it, and a small cup sits in the grass on the right, maybe with a warm drink inside. Leaves drift down all around, a few more rest on the ground, and grass tufts dot the scene. A grassy hill with a little bush rises behind, and the tree's scalloped leafy branches arch overhead. The big pointed ears, fluffy cheeks and tail tip give kids lots of fun spaces to color. Orange for the fox and tail, with white cheeks, chest and tail tip, and reds, yellows and browns for the falling leaves, would look cozy. Free to print for story time, a library day or an autumn classroom activity. Looking for more? Our Wolves and Lion coloring pages pair nicely with this Fox page.
