Dinner with Fox

Customer Reviews

A perfect pop-up!

The story of a thin red fox with very little in the pantry who devises a plan to create a regular dinner feast by inviting the main course! Not only are there small pop-ups on each page but it's interactive because there are tabs to pull, small pieces that remove from the book for the child to "read" and play with. A clever design that will be wear-worn with time! Another copy is due in our house that's for sure!

Dinner with Fox

I am reordering this book for my son. We have one 12 year old issue and it's been well loved. This is the tale of a skinny fox who want's to eat all of his plump neighbors. He get's his in the end. This is a pop-up book that is cleverly illustrated. The pop-ups are cleverly embedded in the illustrations. Most importantly, it is still loved in our home.

A Wonderful and Humorous Children's Book

I loved this book as a child. I recently had a craving for it and quickly searched for it. My copy is not in as good a condition as I had hoped (overreading) I reread it for the first time in years and find that I still enjoy the story, plus it has a moral to it. I won't go so far as to reveal the fate of Thin Red Fox (later Red Fox, and soon after that Plump Red Fox), but I will say that he gets his comeuppance for what he did to the colorfully named White Hen and Brown Hare. He is awaiting his third "dinner guest", Pink Pig, when an unexpected vistor (who dresses very well for a wolf) shows up, in his place. As I said, a great story. It is a shame to see this book out of print.
