Synopsis

Now in paperback, the antics of Fox and Chick continue in the third book in a hilarious early reader series by two-time Geisel Honor–winning author and illustrator Sergio Ruzzier.

“The offbeat tales told through comic panel art and colorful settings, combined with the excitable, bossy Chick and the easygoing, sensible Fox, create another installment in this comics-style picture book series that works for readers and listeners alike." —The Horn Book Magazine

In the tradition of Frog and Toad, this critically acclaimed early reader series features Fox and Chick—two unlikely friends who, despite their differences, always manage to find a way to get along. In this set of stories, Fox and Chick have a sleepover, search for a lost hammer, and throw a surprise party that unexpectedly surprises everyone.

LAUGH-OUT-LOUD BUDDY BOOK: From Elephant & Piggie to Frog and Toad to Ivy & Bean, young readers love fun and funny books about friendship. This unlikely duo will have readers rolling with laughter as they follow along with their antic adventures!

GREAT FOR NEW READERS: The universal characters, humor, and comic-style layouts make this series ideal for emerging and newly independent readers.

AWARD-WINNING CHILDREN’S BOOK: The first book in the Fox & Chick series received a Geisel Award Honor for "most distinguished book for beginning readers" by the American Library Association. It was also a New York Times Notable Children's Book and appeared on many Best Book of the Year lists.

KIDS LOVE GRAPHIC NOVELS: This series will appeal to visually oriented readers of all ages as well as new readers who are eager to try out graphic novels. Great for gift-giving as a standalone or as part of the set, along with Fox & Chick: The Party, Fox & Chick: The Quiet Boat Ride, and Fox & Chick: Up and Down.

Perfect for:

• Kids who love animal books and friendship stories
• Parents, educators, and librarians seeking fun and engaging series for young readers
• Fans of best friend books like Ivy & Bean, Elephant & Piggie, Frog and Toad, Bink & Gollie, and Stick and Stone
