Hi, Erica!
ReplyDeleteIt's cool to see that this is a consistent style for your reading notes; I might have to try using more bullet points myself.
Even without reading the whole story, I definitely appreciate this tale. It is so interesting to me to see how consistent the fox trope is, no matter the author. It seems like everywhere a fox is involved, he is "smart" but ultimately finds himself in trouble. Exploring the fox's characteristics across many different stories could make for a cool Storybook project!
