Review: This story is about a cunning fox who tries to trick a duck into being his dinner. Little does he know she has plans of her own for him. I like this book because it is funny.  Throughout the story the baby ducklings are saying "that is not a good idea" with these really dramatic faces. This story would be interesting to kids who like suspenseful and funny books. I could use this book to teach about making predictions before reading ahead.
