One dark night, Fox breaks into a henhouse, hoping for a snack. He narrowly escapes with his poultry dinner intact, but when he arrives home he discovers he's stolen a duck instead of a chicken. Oh, well. Ducks are edible too, right? Except this is no ordinary duck. This one is very smart, and determined to convince Fox he's not any type of bird at all; he's actually a dog.
Outfoxed is a hilarious tale that captures canine habits in a spot-on and amusing way. The question of who will outfox whom keeps the suspense going until the last page, and the revelation in the end is a whole lot of fun. The sound effects, drama, and wink-wink-nod-nod nature of the story make it particularly suited for a lively read-aloud. My four-year-old loves this story, and I can't wait to share it with my early elementary-schoolers.
