In this latest entry in the educational series for children, the live-action shots of kids raptly listening to host Danni Donkey sharing animal facts appear to be recycled from other volumes (which is a bit disappointing for anyone watching the programs back-to-back). Here, Miss Danni interacts with various cartoon mammals including an English fox (who reminisces about late nights at the park with Danni when they went to university together), a nocturnal badger with a nod to Wind in the Willows, Parisian cathedral bats ("We hang around!") who have "big pointy ears and button noses/always dressed in lovely black clothes-es," and Transylvanian wolves (Danni falsely claims that there has never been a recorded incident of a wolf attacking a human). Also featured are a Catalan Ibex wearing a dress, Lapland reindeer, and a song about confidence, all of which seemed somewhat out of place and not related to foxes. Still, this should be considered an optional purchase for those collecting the series. Aud: P. (J. Williams-Wood)
