Lina and the Fox
On a sunny morning, Lina follows a blue butterfly a little too far-and loses the path home. At the forest's edge a clever fox appears, ready with a riddle and a promise: he'll help her find the way... if she's brave and uses her wits.
Together they cross a rushing river stone by stone, puzzle out a fallen tree, and walk straight through a whispering cave. With each small challenge, Lina grows steadier, smarter, and a little braver-until the meadow and her cottage come into view, and a new friendship glows like evening light.
A gentle, classic-feeling fairy tale about courage, problem-solving, and trusting a true friend, Lina and the Fox is perfect for cozy read-alouds and first independent reading.
Great for: ages 5-8 (read-aloud from 4+).
Themes: bravery, resilience, friendship, respect for nature, growth mindset.
