About

Dear Gazelle,

For some time now I have wanted to write a letter to say how much I admire you. You are so graceful and fine. Even when you are running from tigers you are like a ballerina who is running away from tigers.

I think that what I'm trying to say is that I love you.

XO,

OX

And so, begins an epic, if initially unrequited, love affair between a graceful gazelle and a clumsy, hapless ox. Romance will never be the same.

Adam Rex's hilarious, sweet, and at times heartbreaking letters between a hopelessly romantic ox and a conceited, beautiful gazelle are paired perfectly with Scott Campbell's joyful illustrations to bring you a romance for the ages.

Reviews

"Kiddos who liked Campbell's Hug Machine (2014) will get a kick out of this, too."
Booklist
"Persistence pays off seems to be the message in this bracingly un-Valentine-ish love story."
Kirkus
"It's about as lovely (and funny) a story of opposites attracting that one could ask for. "
