Crazy like a Fox: A Simile Story

(4) K-3 Fox Rufus leads his sheep friend Babette on a goose chase to her surprise party. The book's aim is to teach similes; plot is buried beneath explanatory notes and simile-based dialogue. It works in most places, but sometimes the chosen similes either don't fit well together or are just straight comparisons. The synthetic-looking illustrations are garish but lively.
