The best surprise for kids is that Arctic foxes change coats with the seasons. In winter the fur is thick and white to match the snow. In summer it turns brown or gray-brown to blend with rocks and plants. Kids can color one page for each season. Talk about how the fox curls its bushy tail around its face like a blanket when it sleeps.
For a winter fox, color a blue or purple background and shade the fur edges in pale gray. For a summer fox, use browns and grays and add green tundra plants nearby.
