About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is navigating the tricky social waters of outsmarting others or dealing with the sting of a practical joke. It is particularly useful for children who are beginning to experiment with 'tricky' behavior or those who feel frustrated when things do not go their way. Through the lens of Aesop's classic fox, these stories explore the thin line between being clever and being unkind. In this collection, Paul Galdone's expressive illustrations bring to life three traditional fables: The Fox and the Stork, The Fox and the Grapes, and The Fox and the Crow. Each tale serves as a gentle but firm mirror for behavior, touching on themes of sour grapes, reciprocal fairness, and the dangers of vanity. It is a perfect tool for opening a dialogue about how our actions affect others and how to handle disappointment with grace rather than bitterness.
