Herr Fuchs mag Bücher by Franziska Biermann

Auch wenn der Fuchs nach allem, was er so durchlebt hat, weiterhin Bücher frisst, ist das ein wunderschönes, lustiges, niedliches Kinderbuch.
Den Eindruck hatte nicht nur ich, sondern sowohl Erzieherinnen als auch die Kinder selber (wobei das auch am kredenzten Esspapier gelegen haben kann *g*). Und sogar die Bibliothekarinnen waren sehr angetan :)
"Kinderbuch" ist da wohl etwas falsch ausgedrückt, weil auch ältere "Kinder" durchaus Spaß und Freude damit und daran haben können.

I get that this is supposed to be tongue in cheek. I get that we all consume books.

I just think this is a one-trick pony worked to death. I get it. Ha, ha. But a whole picture book grinding the joke into the ground, no.

And the ending, where the fox is released from prison because, after robbing a bookshop, he writes a best selling novel, so he doesn't have to complete his sentence? What is that teaching?

So, yeah, perhaps kids think it is funny that a fox eats books. And perhaps this would be a fun picture book to read to them, but didn't like the ending.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book avialable for an honest review.

5 stars for the artwork and layout and 3 stars for the story. The story was very long for a picture book. Like other reviewers, I didn't like that the fox got out of prison just because he become famous. I did love the illustrations!

I received an ARC from NetGalley.
