Fox eyed a bunch of tantalizing grapes hanging from a vine growing high on a tree. "Those juicy morsels are for me," he said with a grin. The problem was, Fox was only so high...and the grapes were so, so, so high. "No matter," said he. "I am sly. Clever. Smart. After all, I am a fox." He made a plan....

And what a plan it is! Here Margie Palatini and Barry Moser, who collaborated on Earthquack! and The Three Silly Billies , give an ingenious -- and hilarious -- twist to the well-loved Aesop's fable "The Fox and the Grapes."
