From School Library Journal:
PreS. Lacking in suspense, humor, and strong characterization, this story is weak and the resolution unimaginative. When Red Fox pops a group of unsuspecting baby bunnies into his sack for supper, two other animals decide to rescue them. While the fox naps, they sneak the rabbits out of the sack, and Dan Dog takes their place. The watercolor-and-ink cartoons are bright and bold but show little variety. The fox, dog, and cat are basically the same size and shape, differing only in their fur and faces. The manner in which the animals are clothed is also odd. Red Fox wears a shirt, jacket, and shoes but no pants, while the dog wears only socks and shoes and the cat goes au naturel. The bunnies wear dresses or overalls but are otherwise identical. Pass on this one.?Dawn Ibey, Vancouver Public Library, Canada

From Booklist:
Ages 2^-4. As in Red Fox Dances (1996), Baron tells a simple story full of noisy action. This time, the big, galumphing Red Fox grabs the baby bunnies and pops them into his sack, but when he stops for a nap, Dan Dog and Tabby Cat let the bunnies out. So what's that in the sack? Toddlers will be as surprised as Red Fox when he wakes up and Dan Dog jumps out of the bag. The bully fox is dressed in a plaid jacket and big red sneakers, but the rescuing dog has big sneakers, too, and the bunnies run away squeaking and giggling in the sunlit meadow. Hazel Rochman
