“Once upon a time, a fox was traveling through the great forest. He was thirsty when he got to the other side.” The jovial red fox stole milk from an elderly farmer, lost his tail to the irritated woman’s knife, and spent the day bargaining for it back. The Caldecott Medal was given to the most distinguished picture book of 1971.”
