Morris Fox lives in London under a house with his family. He tries his best to get food, but he has to be very careful in a place like London. Not everyone enjoys having foxes about - especially when they are cooking bacon and eggs! With it's simple storyline The Sorry Tale of Morris Fox will capture children's imagination as Morris Fox goes out into the city looking for food. Kids laugh along at Morris Fox's misfortunes and the story keeps them guessing as to what will happen next. The moral of the tale comes through as the story progresses, 'if at first you don't succeed, try, try again.' The book has 16 pages of text and illustrations so it's not too long for a bedtime story. The simple text and a certain amount of repetition mean it's also a good book for older children to learn to read independently.
