Purchase options and add-ons

The stars of Jonathan Fenske's 2016 Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor book, A Pig, a Fox, and a Box, are back in a stinky adventure. Now available in Step into Reading, the premier leveled reader line!

First, Fox tries to prank Pig with a "gift" of stinky socks hidden in a box. Then he hides another pair in Pig's slop. As always, the mischief winds up backfiring, and Fox becomes his own victim. With comical art and simple language, Pig and Fox's shenanigans in this Step 2 reader will continue to crack kids up.
 
Step 2 Readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories, for children who recognize familiar words and can sound out new words with help. Rhyme and rhythmic text paired with picture clues help children decode the story.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    This is a fun book to read with your little one because fox thinks he's clever, but clearly not clever enough as his practical jokes inevitably backfire on him. The rhyming is great for developing phonemic awareness, an understanding of letter sounds that helps a child learn to read.

    Full of great rhyme and rhythm, this is such a hilarious story! Fantastic for every child learning to read! Fox thinks it's great fun to play a joke on Pig - but little does he know the joke is on him!

    El libro llegó antes de lo previsto y en buen estado. Los materiales y la encuadernación son buenos. El contenido del cuento está genial. Es sencillo y gracioso. Con muchas palabras muy comunes para pequeños empezando a leer, y un par de palabras no tan comunes para crecer. Perfecto para mi hijo bilingue con 6 años.
