Who could stay home hoeing corn and weeding the garden when the Fair was in town? Certainly not Tom Fox, the laziest and greediest (and also the youngest and sweetest) of all the Fox children. It was the apple-pie stand that he simply couldn't resist. Tom pulled his bag of pennies out of the hollow tree and dashed off to pick out a pie big enough to share with the whole family. But before he got home with his pie, another thought occurred to him....
Tom Fox is an irrepressible, irresponsible–and completely irresistible–anti-hero in this jaunty and delightfully amoral tale by Clyde Watson, author of Father Fox's Pennyrhymes. Easy words and clear type make this a story that can be read and enjoyed by beginning readers. Wendy Watson's distinctive scratchboard illustrations in blue and black show Tom and the other members of the Fox family in animated silhouette, adding to the fun of this endearing tale.
