Summary: A young fox who steals a drink of milk and a woman cuts off his tail because of it. Through determination and a willingness to work with others, this fox finally rights the wrong he committed at the beginning of the story and gets his tail back. The illustrations are deceptively simple with bright colors, beautiful brushstrokes, and lots of contrast.
Classroom Ideas: This would be a great cause and effect lesson. It has a cumulative plot with a very satisfying ending.
