A young red fox living in Monet's garden in Giverny, France, admires the collage of colours in the landscape that surrounds him. More than anything, he wants to make the colors last as the seasons pass and the winter turns cold and bleak. Try as he might, his creations are blown away, flooded, and even eaten by a deer, until the sight of Monet at his easel and an unexpected encounter with a bumble bee show the gentle fox how he can make the colours last all year long. This brightly illustrated tale is a delightful introduction to Claude Monet.
