Baby Fox Goes Camping

About a year ago, my wife and I had a crazy idea to write a children's book for our daughter. Even crazier, I decided to illustrate it.

Just recently, we finally finished it and had it self-published. Enjoy the book in its entirety below. And if you really like it, get it on Amazon.com for a child in your life.

by the warm, glowing fire
but after his day
he was just far too tired.

Safe in mom's arms,
snug in jammies and socks,
what a fun trip
for that young baby fox.

As he laid in the tent
beneath the bright moon,
a sleepy fox asked,
"Can we camp again soon?"
