Jacobs Book Review

Are you ready to rock? "Fox Be Nimble" is a toe-tappin', finger-snappin' book. Author James Marshall has written a great book about a guitar-playing fox. Fox loves to play rock star. So, come and be his fan and read his story. It will be music to your ears. Fox only has one person in his audience, his sister, Louise. He has to stop playing music to babysit the Bear's family. He always talks back to his mom. After Fox went to Bear's family, he goes to pracice with the band and finally finds something that he is good at. So, find out, read and keep on rocking!

Fox is the best!

I own every Fox book because they are so incredible funny but teach a lesson. If you like Love and Logic Parenting, this is it. Fox gets to face a hilarious consequence every time!

Fox Rocks!

Fox introduces small children to the delightful world of humor and irony in books. What a welcome relief from the drills on simple words that characterize so many early readers. With the simplest of words, Marshall conveys sibling rivalry, naughtiness, and even phobias with a sweet chuckle understandable to early readers. Fox was a constant favorite with both my girls and I only wish more children could go along on his misadventures.

Fox's Mom gave Fox one of those Looks...

That basically sums up all these books. They are absolute classics! I love everything about every single one of these books- I read them growing up and nearly cried as a teenager when they removed them from my local library. No matter what age you are you can enjoy these fantastic books. James Marshall has turned out nothing but classic, wonderful and fun books. If you've never read them, you're missing out on your childhood, and that goes for his George and Martha books too! Get one TODAY!
