A fun, fresh cover look for the fourth title in Chris Riddell's imaginative Ottoline series. Packed with gorgeous black-and-white illustrations throughout, Ottoline and the Purple Fox is perfect for kids aged 7+!

Ottoline and Mr Munroe love puzzles, clues and mysteries. One day, they meet an enigmatic purple fox, who offers to take them on a night-time urban safari. The fox shows them all the hidden animals of the city and Ottoline makes notes on them in her field notebook. Mr Munroe is making notes too - on the anonymous poems he finds stuck to lampposts on their journey . . .

Who is the secretive poet, and how can Mr Monroe and Ottoline help them mend their broken heart?

Beautifully and intricately illustrated by the author, the Ottoline series is perfect for curious young readers.

Join Ottoline and Mr Monroe for more adventures in Ottoline and the Yellow Cat, Ottoline Goes to School and Ottoline at Sea!
