Chickens and the Fox Set
The seven books in the Chickens and the Fox Set include The Chickens and the Fox, Who’s in the Chicken Coop?, The Drone, Chicken Guard Dog, The Trampoline, Pizza Delivery, and Chicken School.
Since meeting the chickens and the fox in the first title of the series, young readers have seen the sly fox try repeatedly to outwit the clever chickens. In Who’s in the Chicken Coop?, the fox barely escapes detection when he disguises himself as a chicken and sneaks into the coop. He’s at it again in The Drone. This time going hi-tech! And in Chicken Guard Dog, the chickens must get help from their best friend, as they catch the fox digging a tunnel into the chicken yard. Not easily discouraged, the fox next tries to bounce his way to success in The Trampoline. The chickens have to be ready for everything, even a mysterious pizza delivery man knocking at their coop. The newest title in the set, Chicken School, lets readers see that even little chicks are smart!
