AlbakiReads Editorial

Fox’s unconventional ways of getting there

Fox’s travels hinge on an amusing contrast: familiar ways to get around sit alongside more surprising options, including a surfboard and a waterfall. The book’s recurring question—where Fox is headed, and especially how—gives its journey a clear organizing thread, while the description notes that Fox can try again after getting into trouble. Repetitive text, carefully selected language, and a limited vocabulary support its beginner-reader format; illustrations add visual context and comedy. The premise also carries a simple idea about valuing the journey, not only the destination.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Emerging readers practicing with limited vocabulary and repetitive text
  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy trickster characters and comic illustrations
  • Adults sharing an early reader with young children

Book overview

Fox--the beloved and popular trickster character featured in the Geisel Award-winning books Fox Has a Problem, Fox at Night, and Fox the Tiger--is on the move! But Fox knows that life is about the journey, not the destination, and if his untraditional transportation methods get him in a bit of trouble, he can always try again tomorrow. Kirkus Reviews calls Corey R. Tabor "a master of the early reader."

Where is Fox going? But more importantly, how is he getting there?

A train? A bus? A surfboard? A waterfall? Fox's travel methods may be a bit unusual, but we would expect nothing less from our terrific, trickster friend.

Wry, repetitive text with carefully chosen language and a limited vocabulary allows for an accessible read while charming illustrations provide context and comedy in Corey R. Tabor's award-winning Fox series, making it a perfect choice for emerging readers and their caretakers. The Fox series, which is comprised of both picture books and beginning readers, has received three Geisel Awards, one Geisel Honor, multiple starred reviews, and features appealing plots, lovable characters, and age-appropriate themes that encourage children to continue their reading journey.
