A cozy collection of holiday verse

Who is that knocking at the door?
It’s old Father Fox with surprises galore!
Licorice & lollipops, lemons & limes
A bundle of toys & a bag full of rhymes . . .

Over thirty years ago, Father Fox’s Pennyrhymes became an instant classic and was a National Book Award Finalist. Now Father Fox returns with new rhymes especially for yuletide that conjure up the excitement and mystery of the season: playing in the snow, making hot apple cider, hiding presents – all at the warm and loving home of the Fox family.

The verses feel like classic children’s rhymes, and rich paintings capture all the cheer and beauty of Christmastime.

Nine Ducks Nine
This is a wonderfully illustrated book about ducks. It is not as simplistic as that, though. Counting with a repetitious rhyme is the clencher that keeps kids reading. Their interest is maintained by the cute ducks that are constantly harassed by a fox. The story line is ingenious. I recommend all children be exposed to this book. It lends itself to numerous activities that will keep their imagination flowing. ... Read more

Fox Tale Soup bok review
I read Fox Tale Soup. I thought it was a very good book because it is about animals and if some people like animals that live on a farm then I think they should get this book! I think kids that are 4-8 would enjoy this book. This book is about a fox that asked some animals for food and all the animals that he asked said no you may not have any food from us? And then he asked may I have a drop of water to make some soup? Then the sheep that was kinder then the others brought some water for him then fox lit a fire and took a pot out of his backpack and poured the water on! I recommend this book because it is really good and has a lot of animals from a farm. And it is really cute I would read it anytime!!

Fox Tale Soup
I thought this was a very good book. It has very good pictures and is easy to understand. Fox is walking one day and comes to a farm where there are animals resting. He asks them if he could have some food to eat and they all say no. Fox asks for water and puts a stone in it and every one adds something to it, after they said they had nothing. This is a good book and will teach your kids to share. ... Read more

In the tradition of The Adventures of Peter Rabbit, this is a "garden tale" of farmer versus vermin, or vice versa. The farmers in this case are a vaguely criminal team of three stooges: "Boggis and Bunce and Bean / One fat, one short, one lean. / These horrible crooks / So different in looks / Were nonetheless equally mean." Whatever their prowess as poultry farmers, within these pages their sole objective is the extermination of our hero--the noble, the clever, the Fantastic Mr. Fox. Our loyalties are defined from the start; after all, how could you cheer for a man named Bunce who eats his doughnuts stuffed with mashed goose livers? As one might expect, the farmers in this story come out smelling like ... well, what farmers occasionally do smell like.

This early Roald Dahl adventure is great for reading aloud to three- to seven-year-olds, who will be delighted to hear that Mr. Fox keeps his family one step ahead of the obsessed farmers. When they try to dig him out, he digs faster; when they lay siege to his den, he tunnels to where the farmers least expect him--their own larders! In the end, Mr. Fox not only survives, but also helps the whole community of burrowing creatures live happily ever after. With his usual flourish, Dahl evokes a magical animal world that, as children, we always knew existed, had we only known where or how to look for it. (Great read aloud for any age; written at a 9- to 12-year-old reading level) ... Read more

How could this book go out of print!!
My 3 children, my husband and I have read and reread this book countless times, and even the adult fraction has enjoyed it every time. This is a rare event! An old man living by himself in a farmhouse with his cat, his hens, and a selection of strange tiny creatures, well, if that sounds less than interesting, try to find the book and you'll see! The story of how the old man and his cat scare off the fox (and, incidentally, their neighbor with his gun)is imaginative, funny and very charming, and just the right length for at bed-time story. And the illustrations are unique: beautiful and full of surprising, sometimes absurd, details that make the children laugh, and you too. I strongly recommend this book, as well as all the others about Mercury and Festus (for children aged 3-7). If you can't find them: learn Swedish, you won't regret it.

A tale about hunting fox without the guns
The story in this book is really funny. Nordqvist describes how the old man and his cat takes on fox hunting. Their neighbour wants to shoot the fox, but Festus and Mercury would rather like to scare it far away. They succeed in this - and also scares off their neighbour and his gun. Great drawings!!!! Look for the small details in the pictures!!! ... Read more
