  Discovering foxes is one of the volumes in Wayland's Discovering nature series, which is designed to encourage children to learn more about the natural world. In this study, the author describes the features which characterize foxes and how they differ from other members of the dog family. She also explains how the various species of foxes have adapted to habitats ranging from the desert to the Arctic tundra and there are also chapters on their feeding habits, their courtship and mating rituals and family life. Foxes are often regarded as pests, and the reasons for this are also explored together with the problems of controlling their numbers. The text is complemented by a glossary and an index.
