From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2-- The animals of the forest are fed up with Fox's wily ways. One by one, Crow, Rabbit, Donkey, and Bear have been flattered, tricked, or somehow connived out of a variety of tasty treats. They team up to hatch a clever plot of their own, and taste the sweetness of revenge (as well as their recovered refreshments) as they drive Fox to desperation by beating him at his own game. While the theme of outfoxing a fox is tried and true in folklore, Abolafia adds a genuine freshness to his story, and his woodland critters' tactics are creative and nonviolent. There is a moment of hairy suspense as Fox offers a rough-looking "tail" to Bear after emitting "screams of pain" through a closed door. The lively, succinct text is complemented perfectly by the humorously expressive pen-and-watercolor cartoons of the scheming rascal Fox and the guileless Bear. Satisfying but never predictable, Fox Tale will be enjoyed in groups as well as by independent readers. --Starr LaTronica, North Berkeley Library, CA
