The Cunning Plan by Caryl Hart & Alex T. Smith
Young readers will have lots of fun reading this crazy, laugh-out-loud adventure starring Foxy Dubois (the fox) and Alphonso (the alligator) and the outlandish population of the bustling town of Vaudeville. This zany, slap stick comedy has it all: hare-brained get-rich-quick schemes, which inevitably go awry; alligator dress-ups with make-up; pet abductions with incredible chase scenes; and even alligator gas (from gorging on hot dogs)!
If you’re on the lookout for a page-turning, madcap adventure, filled with wonderfully quirky illustrations for young readers, you’ll find it in The Cunning Plan. And even more exciting, it’s the first in a new series so there are more to look forward to. The creator of the much-loved Claude books (also for young readers) has done it again! Highly recommended for younger readers aged 6 and up.
