Lousy Rotten Stinkin' Grapes

from amazon.com:
Fox wants the grapes, but they're too high for him to reach. He's nothing if not crafty, and in this humorous new spin on the well-known fable, fox's scheme is taken to new heights.
* Unfortunately, my kids are not familiar with the classic Aesop's fable "The Fox and the Grapes." Although this was a tad bit repetitive with the addition of each animal character, the kids enjoyed the story. I used different voices for the various animals which they found humorous. I liked how it shows that everyone can come up with a good idea, you have to allow them to share it. The kids are familiar with the "Lion and the Mouse" but I think this story was a good way to introduce the kids to more fables.
Family Rating: 1 1/2 thumbs up.
