Review:
The familiar tale of Sly Fox taking advantage of Red Hen's kind and generous nature is given new life by French's fresh text and Hobson's lively illustrations. In this rendition, Sly Fox tricks Red Hen into letting him into her home by telling her his socks need mending. Once inside, he captures the gullible hen, anticipating the delicious dinner he will have that night. Of course, his plans go awry. Hobson's effective use of vibrant color, high contrast, and unique perspectives make for eye-catching illustrations that will have as much appeal for children as the action and trickery of the story. The book isn't a must purchase, but it will be a delightful story-time read.
