The Party and Other Stories

Three short chapters use sequential art to describe three events in the unlikely friendship of a fox and a chick. In the first story, Chick asks to use Fox’s bathroom and, it turns out, he’s using it to hold a party for his friends. In the second, Chick is critical of Fox’s vegetarian lifestyle until he realizes he himself might otherwise be on the menu. In the third, Chick finds it hard to pose for a portrait that he wants Fox to paint of him, finding all sorts of reasons he just can’t sit still. The three short chapters are all funny and character-driven, with satisfying storylines that will appeal to newly independent readers. Happily, a concluding page hints that there will be more stories about this duo. ©2019 Cooperative Children’s Book Center
