Book Description
for Fox Has a Problem by Corey R. Tabor
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
In this newest installment of the Fox books for beginning readers, Fox creates a series of escalating, and funny, problems. It all starts when Fox gets his kite stuck in a tree. (“It is not a new problem,” says the narrator on the next page, where an illustration shows many kites hanging in the trees.) “But Fox has an idea. / A big idea.” Fox wheels in an enormous fan, which blows all the fallen leaves (and several kites) into Bear’s den, creating a new problem. As a solution to Bear’s dirty den, Fox brings in a very large vacuum that sucks up everything (including Bear), but inadvertently plugs the hole to Rabbit’s warren (yet another problem). Logically, Fox pops the vacuum bag with a pin, launching all the animals into the nearby trees. The animals realize they have a Fox problem and ask him to go away before a sage woodland Elephant arrives to save the day with a solution for everyone. (Ages 4-7)
