How easily very few words can be used to tell an entire story full of suspense!

This is a fun and humorous book that switches up our perspective on the sly fox.

Purchased this as a gift for a kindergarten class. Highly engaging illustrations and simple texts. I think youngsters will get a kick out of anticipating the ending and be pleasantly surprised by the final pages.

Recommended for a fun storytime.

A beautifully illustrated picture book that counts from 1 to 10, and then has 100. This could potentially be scary for children when the fox tries to eat the hens. I would recommend this for a K - 1st grade read aloud.

One Fox is delicious. A must. It’s a clever read, and beautiful visually. I marvel at the level of drama/thrill Read is able to elicit in both composition and very few word. The alliterations are good. I was also charmed by what we were asked to count (e.g. “8”)…and that unexpected number on the final pages.

I had to ask the question: is this a I Want My Hat Back (by Klassen) experience. Is it…?

Oh, but I would’ve owned this one with my small macabre-loving child. One Fox is a fantastic addition to the Counting Book collections.
