The Big Bad Fox by Benjamin Renner
Fox is a horrendously unsuccessful raider of the farm. To the extent that instead of stealing chickens he usually gets beat up by chickens and the other farm animals give him pity turnips as he hightails it out of there. Wolf can’t get anywhere near the farm because the dog actually goes after him (the dog ignores Fox). So Wolf gets the grand idea to have Fox steal some chicken eggs, raise them for a few months, and then they’ll split a meal of the tender chicks. The first part goes ok, Fox manages to get and hide the eggs from the farm residents. The second part also goes well, Fox hatches and raises the three chicks. But therein lies the problem to part three, Fox becomes a bit attached to the three chicks in the process. When Wolf tries to hold Fox to the deal things get interesting.
Why you should go find a copy of this when it comes out June 20:
- Lots of laughs from start to finish.
- Broad age appeal, hand it to anyone from 5 to 95 who wants a funny read.
- Graphic novel format means it's a quick read and great pick for reluctant readers.
- In case you didn't notice - it's really, really funny!
