Publisher's Weekly Review

Arnold Fox (a most unusual nanny to a brood of chicks) outwits his slyand hungryrelatives to save his farmyard charges from certain disaster on Christmas Eve. Twists here include a trio of piglets who urge the fox to play Three Little Pigs with them: "You could be the Big Bad Wolf!" Adams's comic scenario and ever-sweet protagonist are a can't-lose combination. The gentle humor of Young's (Adam Pig's Everything Fun Book) bubbly watercolors targets kids' sensibilities with similar success. Ages 4-8. (Oct.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
