"Six Silly Foxes" sounds like so much fun. It's not. In fact, I have to say that I don't 'get it'.

What's wrong with this book? It asks questions on nearly every other page which it does NOT answer. How much fun for kids is that?

Examples of the questions asked:
"How can six silly foxes hop on boxes filled with eggs?"
"How can six sad foxes fix an old banjo?"
"How can six hungry foxes snack on ice cream in the heat?"

Answer (I suppose is):

"We are six happy foxes.
You ask how that can be?
Silly or sad, hungry or mad,
we are all so very happy
in this mixed-up family!"

Maybe this is some 'new fangled' way of approaching children's literature but my children and I didn't get it. They (3 and 5) asked me to read something else.

One Star. Nice artwork but a very unsatisfactory read. At the end of the book there are some activities to do like draw what you like to do outside and inside; make a list of activities.
