The Tale of Tricky Fox: A New England Trickster Tale

(1) K-3 Illustrated by Barbara McClintock. After bragging that he can steal a pig, Tricky Fox, feigning age and fatigue three times, gains entry to nearby cottages. He upgrades the contents of his sack by fooling the humans within, until a kindly teacher, the fox's third intended victim, overhears the fox singing his sassy song. Using a teacher's greater smarts, she puts her bulldog, instead of the supposed pig, into the sack. McClintock's lively line gets the spirited tale's mischief just right.
