Fox All Week (Puffin Easy-to-Read, Level 3)

Rating:
Summary: Foul smell
Review: I never saw my 6 year old nephew laugh so hard. He has several Fox books and has read them all over and over again. We both liked this one because Fox is so funny while he gets himself into some kind of trouble every day of the week! A word of caution: I only gave this book 4 stars because Fox and his friends smoke a cigar in this book. I didn't think the lesson they learned from it was strong enough.

Review: We enjoyed our first Fox book, Fox on the Job, but Fox All Week is notably less enjoyable for two reasons: 1) it is much less funny and 2) one of the stories shows Fox and his friends smoking cigars. Marshall tries to treat the subject with intended humor, but it is lost on children ages 4-8. This age group is not able to understand such tongue-in-cheek humor until older and the result of the cigar smoking story is confusion about whether smoking is OK for kids.
