One Fox

Kate Read

4.08 AVERAGE


A beautifully illustrated picture book that counts from 1 to 10, and then has 100. This could potentially be scary for children when the fox tries to eat the hens. I would recommend this for a K - 1st grade read aloud.

One Fox is delicious. A must. It’s a clever read, and beautiful visually. I marvel at the level of drama/thrill Read is able to elicit in both composition and very few word. The alliterations are good. I was also charmed by what we were asked to count (e.g. “8”)…and that unexpected number on the final pages.

I had to ask the question: is this a I Want My Hat Back (by Klassen) experience. Is it…?

Oh, but I would’ve owned this one with my small macabre-loving child. One Fox is a fantastic addition to the Counting Book collections.

Note: Nicely bookended endpapers

Fun book that adds suspense with learning to count. Eric Carle style illustrations.

Kui pealkiri lubab põnevuslugu arvudest, siis noh.. ma ei uskunud seda. Enam ma nii rumal ei ole. Tõesti on võimalik õpetada kõige lihtsamal tasemel numbreid nii, et lugu on selline põnevik, et kohe kisub lehti aina kiiremini ja kiiremini keerama, mille tõttu peab lõpuni jõudes hakkama otsast peale, sest kaunid illustratsioonid jäid puha nautimata.

It was a three star in 2020 and I have no memory of reading it. Read it again today because it came through delivery and it’s a four star.

I love the concept of a 'thriller' that's child appropriate.
Quick to read, with a build up, smart illustrations and cute ending.

Beautiful illustrations accompany this fun book about a fox who tries to steal eggs from some hens for his supper. This would be a great group read aloud, it definitely encourages participation!

A counting book with a story. A story about a fox. A beautifully illustrated fox. Great use of colours to make a vibrant book.

The author builds suspense with few words and fabulous illustrations. Good read aloud for younger children.

This counting picture book makes counting from 1 to 10 a thrilling experience for preschool readers. Set in a moonlit farmyard, the one sly fox stalks the chicken coop, only to be thwarted by a pack of piqued poultry. Richly colored and textured collage and paint illustrations communicate the arc of the story with white backgrounds giving way to dark ones as the suspense mounts. Young readers (ages 3-5) will delight in counting again and again as they cheer for the brave hens.
