The Fox Who Ate Books by
3.0
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.
