Flossie & the Fox
Patricia McKissack (1986) , under 40 pages
Illustrated by Rachel Isadora
Audience: Preschool, Primary (k-3rd grade)
Category: Adventure, African-American, Humor
|
Flossie is a smart little girl who gets
to match
wits with a fox on her way to Miz
Viola's place.
The fresh eggs that Flossie carries are
quite
appealing to the fox. The fox is
stymied
by
Flossie's refusal to acknowledge him as
a fox. The
contrast between the fox's uppity
language and
Flossie's 'down home' talk gives the
story its
humor. When Flossie declares "You aine'
no fox!",
the fox, very properly replies, "I have
you know
my reputation precedes me". The
illustrations are
in full color and show the personality
of both
Flossie and the fox. At the end of the
story, the
reader decides who is the most
clever....Flossie
or the fox.
