If a Chicken Stayed for Supper

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Sophie Fatus. When Mama Fox leaves the den to hunt for dinner, her five little foxes sneak out to play. The approaching darkness forces a sibling head count, yet each cub fails to count him or herself and thinks someone's lost. A passing hen counts correctly and calms the weeping foxes. Playful deep-hued paintings complement the clever tale, which ends with a twist.
