PS
After a late-night chicken heist, Fox is surprised to find that he's nabbed a duck by mistake. The problem? The duck claims to be a dog. Duck's scheme (and Fox's credulity) will thrill young readers, even those who've previously encountered the old dinner-tricks-predator-and-gets-away premise. Twohy's comical illustrations are integral to the storytelling, conveying tone and helping to advance the story.
