Hilarious, cute, and appealing kids will like this one with its well done illustrations and funny storyline.

No one at the farm is afraid of the eponymous fox. This leads fox to team up with the Big Bad Wolf to steal a hen's eggs. The wolf tells fox he must take care of the eggs until they hatch. When the big day finally arrives the chicks imprint on the fox. Hilarity and predictable mayhem ensue.

Oh
My
Stars.
This was incredibly hilarious and full of little special moments. The humor was fantastic. I really enjoyed the unique page design of cell-free vignettes, which suited the outstanding artwork. This is one where the plot points aren't the surprises, the journey through the standard devices is unexpected and charming.

Original is in French and now it's in English. Everyone should be scared of the Fox and yet he gets no respect. A wolf encourages him to steal some eggs and hatch them and then he will have a bigger meal when the chicks are bigger. He does and he becomes their momma. The story is about the chicks who all think they are foxes and they like to play they are eating chicks.

There is a lot of funny stuff in this story. The art is only in service to the story. It is not thrilling. The fox simply wanted a decent meal. Is that so much to ask? I love the ending of this story and I think the twists are pretty good. It's a little different story and I like that.

All I have to say is don't mess with the chickens.

Poor fox. He just can't seem to get it right. When he goes over to the farm he's expected, but not feared. No one is afraid of him, not the pig, not the rabbit, not the chickens. And the guard dog doesn't even work up a sweat about seeing him in the farmyard. Even help from the wolf doesn't work. Until the wolf helps him distract the farmyard dog so that the fox can steal some eggs. But then the wolf thinks that they should hatch the eggs to have something more substantial to eat. Too bad the chicks think that the fox is their mother.
A cute story that went on a bit long. I thought from the cover that this was a children's book but would put it at a slightly more advanced reader. The jokes/story went on a little long but this might be fun for a somewhat reluctant reader who would be able to understand the jokes and read the short snippets.

An entertaining graphic novel about a fox who bites off more than he can chew by pretending to be the mother of three rambunctious chicks.

A fox steals chicks from a hen when they are still eggs. When they hatch they think he is their mother. At first planning to eat them with the wolf, the fox gets attached to them and refuses to let them get eaten. Then hens back on the farm have been training to attack a fox when they see him again.
