PRAISE FOR FATHER FOX'S PENNYRHYMES
“Rhymes that just beg to be read aloud.” –Horn Book
“A book for all seasons.” –School Library Journal
“A clever, cheerful, jazzy Vermont general store of a book... The text is a lacing of verse that ranges from nonsense to nostalgia.” –Time
“Both the verses and the pictures of the Fox family close forever – for the lucky human family who will share the book – the generation gap.” –Publisher's Weekly
“As Beatrix Potter immortalized English rabbits, the Watson sisters have made foxes irresistible.” –Ladies’ Home Journal
