The fun begins when a Tricky Fox makes a bet with his brother that he can trick a silly human into giving him a pig. "I'll eat my hat, if you can,?" says his brother, and the Tricky Fox sets off to win his bet. It appears that Tricky Fox will get himself a pig that is, until he meets a clever schoolteacher who outsmarts him! Based upon an Anglo-American folktale collected by Clifton Johnson in the nineteenth century, and contained in the collection What They Say in New England and Other American Folklore, this engaging picture-book follows the adventures of a crafty fox, who boasts to his brother that he can trick humans into giving him a pig. Through a series of deceptions, Tricky Fox manages to upgrade from a log to a chicken, but his boastful ways, and a clever school-mistress prove his undoing... Jim Aylesworth and Barbara McClintock - whose other collaborative projects include The Gingerbread Man, Goldilocks And The Three Bears, and The Mitten - deliver another winner in The Tale Of Tricky Fox! With an engaging narrative that just begs to be read aloud, and adorable watercolor, ink and gouache illustrations, fans of this author/illustrator duo will not be disappointed. There's even a recipe for "Tricky Fox's Eat-Your-Hat Cookies" on the back cover! Highly recommended, for fans of fox-folklore, and of McClintock's artwork. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
