Winner of the 1972 Caldecott Medal
This humorous retelling of a favorite Armenian folktale is a story small children will follow and read along with ease.
“One fine day a fox traveled through the great forest. When he reached the other side he was very thirsty.” The jaunty red fox stole milk from an old farm woman, lost his tail under the annoyed woman’s knife, and spent the day bargaining to get it back.
