Kirkus Book Review
Can an old fox learn new tricks? He'll sure try! A fox doll joins Pig and Fox for the duo's third outing, spelling double trouble for poor Pig. As with the two previous titles, A Pig, a Fox, and a Box (2015) and A Pig, a Fox, and Stinky Socks (2019), Fox plays tricks on his pal Pig that don't quite go as planned. First, Fox places his new doll atop a high wall of blocks and calls out to Pig. Pig mistakes the fox doll for the real deal and rushes to rescue his friend from that precarious position, accidentally knocking down the wall and--"Oh no!"--burying Fox in the rubble. For the next trick, Fox knocks on Pig's door and uses the doll as a decoy in an attempted surprise. The plan backfires when--"CRACK!"--the door swings to hit Fox hiding beside it: "Ouch." Will Fox survive for a third trick or call it quits? Using fewer than 130 words, Fenske recycles his slapstick formula alongside repeated phrases to effectively entertain emerging readers. The dialogue-driven story helpfully uses color-coded speech bubbles to identify speakers. Colored backgrounds (some full, some partial) delineate most comics panels but lack outlines and are sometimes unclear. Though most will love the series' familiar characters and cartoon violence, Pig's oafish antics--and the repeated textual emphasis on his size--play into fat stereotypes. (This book was reviewed digitally with 7.6-by-10.2-inch double-page spreads viewed at 89% of actual size.) Three might just be a crowd for this series.
