Fox has a problem and is determined to solve it. Charming, sherbet-colored pencil drawings
humorously reveal how each solution exacerbates the trouble. The sparse text and winning
illustrations leave plenty of space for emerging readers to anticipate and predict the action. Just a few adjectives—“big,” “new,” “sharp,” “very”—transform a handful of simple words into a dramatic, witty, satisfying story that celebrates collaboration. Perfect for young readers. Geisel Award winner.
