Booklist - 06/01/2024 *Starred Review* Mr. Fox engages kids in his new game by stating its cardinal rule: “Every time I ask a question, you have to say “NO.” Those who accidentally say “YES” must return to the beginning and start again. Simple, right? “Are you ready to play?” Oops! If you said “YES,” start again. Mr. Fox tempts and bamboozles players, asking if they would like a Hawaiian beach vacation that includes surfing, roasting marshmallows, swimming with baby dolphins, and for the first 20 guests, “a MILLION BILLION dollars.” LaRochelle and Wohnoutka, the brilliantly witty writer and illustrator whose book See the Cat: Three Stories about a Dog (2020) won the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award, take kids on a vicarious adventure of sneaky questions designed to trip up and amuse listeners in equal measure. From the cover portrait of Mr. Fox sporting a carnival barker’s top hat, cane, and easy smile, to his final bow, the illustrations capture his role as an able trickster and his ideas for beguiling his audience. After all, every question in the book prepares kids to answer the last one correctly. And here it is: “Have you ever read a funnier, better written, more beautifully illustrated book than this one?” A clever, hilarious picture book! - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
