One Fox

Kate Read

4.08 AVERAGE


I love me a good thriller!
funny tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: N/A

Super fun and suspenseful storytime read.

The fox is in the henhouse, and the reader gets to count their way alongside the sneaky fox. Cute and fun, with great, countable illustrations.

Storytime:
Counting
Colors: Orange
Animals, Foxes

A beautifully illustrated counting book with plenty of opportunity for kids to infer what's happening. I love a counting book that actually tells a story, and this one does so without any extra words. Love it.

2020 Storytime Theme: Foxes

Ominous.

This was so thrilling!

Illustrations + counting + story = A+
mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Read's collage illustrations give big personalities to the sly fox and the (seemingly) helpless hens, despite the spare text of the book. Get kids involved (and slow down the pace) by counting the items on each page. The twist ending makes even adults smile.
