Trickster Fox gets Tricked

Fox has an empty stomach and an empty refrigerator. He remembers some grapes nearby; the grapes elude his grasp and he decides the grapes were sour anyway. As he walks along, he sees a crow with cheese. He flatters the crow and she is tricked to giving him her cheese. As he applauds his gain, he falls into a well. He tricks a goat to help get out of the well and heads home for a nap. The goat escapes the well and runs into crow; both of them want to get even with the fox. A stork helps them trick the fox by inviting fox to dinner. She also invites the goat and crow too. The stork serves stew in bottles with narrow necks; the fox leaves in a huff when he cannot eat his stew. The three remaining companions enjoy a good laugh. Four of Aesop’s fables come together in this clever trickster tale. Detailed and sly pencil and gouache illustrations add to the telling as do integrated morals from Aesop’s tales. At the book’s end, the author gives a nice brief summary about Aesop and each fable. Readers who know something about trickster tales can get extra humor from the illustrations; the blending of all these fables makes for a richer story that readers from second grade up to fifth grade can appreciate. Lowry’s note could also be incorporated into a social studies lesson.
