The Chicken Thief

(4) K-3 When three animals see a fox running abduct a chicken, they set out in pursuit. When they finally catch up with the pair, the chicken reveals that the fox has become her beloved. The tirelessly detailed art is up to the task of telling this wordless story, but the denouement seems to celebrate Stockholm syndrome.
