Abstract
Here is the third book of this series of ten. Now Pearson Learning Group is mentioned, and the publisher's address has shifted from Carlsbad, CA, to Parsippany, NJ. The word count is 460. Sixteen pages. Great pictures include the fox's first realization that he trapped (8) and the goat's plunge into the well (11). I find three surprises in this version. First, the fox asks for help from both a rabbit and a sheep before trying with the goat the different tactic of praising the water. Secondly, the fox does not suggest a plan to the goat; he simply jumps onto his back and then his horns as a way to get out. Thirdly, when the goat asks how he is to get out, the fox uses the rope, pulley, and bucket to get him out this time (14). Finding two of the books of this series has led to finding many more including this one. Let me see when I can complete the set!
