About this listen

This book, published in 1943 by Japanese fairy tale writer Nankichi Niimi, tells the story of a little fox who goes to a human town to buy gloves.

On a snowy morning, as the little fox returns home after running around outside, the mother fox holds his cold hands and gets the idea to buy him some gloves. The mother fox uses magic to turn one of the little fox's hands into a human child's. She then teaches the little fox to hold his human hand in the shop and ask for gloves.

In Japanese folktales, foxes often use magic to trick people.

This heartwarming story is short, so you can read it quickly. It's also perfect for reading aloud to children.
