Great Read for a Reluctant Reader

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2011

Verified Purchase

My son was a struggling reader at the end of his kindergarten school year, so we pulled him out and began his homeschool journey. After an intense phonics unit teaching him to chunk his words instead of reading whole word and guessing 75% of the time, we began to read the Fox Series. The first book was Fox on Wheels, he loved it so much he wanted to read every book in the series. So that is what we did, I found this book Fox and His Friends challenging enough to increase his reading skills, the book also had enough of his sight words to make him a more confident reader. The vocabulary is kid friendly and I could tell he was comprehending the stories as well because he was laughing while reading it. He loves the Fox series so much, that after we exhausted the series, he reread them again and wanted to learn more about the author. We researched and learned alot about Edward Marshall, he also decided to read the Cut Ups series as well.

Classic James Marshall

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2002

If you have a child between 3 and 8, you should buy this book. The late, great James Marshall (Edward was a pseudonym) had the rare ability to tell a story using easy-to-read words, but still with genuinely surprising and humorous twists. This book's ending is a brilliant twist, which I will not spoil here.
If you don't have a child the right age, you should buy this anyway, but you may have to think of an excuse.
This book ranks with Marshall's best, which also include the sublime "Three By the Sea," as well as the better-known "Miss Nelson" and "George & Martha" books.
A note to the publisher: You really should keep James Marshall's better books available in hardcover library editions. This guy's best works are classics, and they'll continue to sell for at least another century.

This parent & teacher adores this series.

Humorous books that elementary thru middle school will find funny. Fox and his friends and siblings have the same annoyances and interests that we all did at that age. Nothing objectionable. Funny and affectionate. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Great for preschoolers, too!

We have three or four of these L3 Fox books by James Marshall and Edward Marshall. Although these are "early readers" and may be meant for older children, the stories and pictures are still entertaining for littler kids. Our three year old preschooler loves Fox and his antics and equally important, my husband and I enjoy reading these books to him, too.

I know a lot of people don't like the silliness, but I believe it was the right amount. Fox is a little bit of a rebel, who still wants to do the right thing like any eight-year-old. Plus, the little sister dynamic reminded me of my own little sister dynamic.

It's a reminder of my early days. I'm 17 now, so this takes me back to early childhood.

Haven't read this since I was in kindergarten, and that was twelve years ago. It was great to travel back to the past. It's also funny.

I remember loving the "fox books" when I was younger and now my 5- and 3-year olds love them too. They're clever and cute and easy-to-read, with silliness that my kids can pick up on. Plus my 5 year-old can sound out most of the words. Definitely worth picking up.
