For parents

What Parents Should Know

These Level 2 readers use short sentences, dialogue, rhyme, and strong picture clues. Each volume contains three connected episodes, giving children several quick endings and a manageable sense of progress.

Fox tricks Pig with boxes, smelly socks, disguises, and beach pranks. The schemes are silly rather than malicious, and the joke is consistently that Fox becomes the victim of his own plan; expect mild cartoon bumps and lots of comic payback.
