Reviews

[Christie Crook]

Cute book. Great for beginning readers.

[Emily Carter]

I don’t like Bad Jack Fox but I still like the book! I liked when Dan got his box back.

[zhanghao]

The protagonist gets his things back effortlessly; such a plot isn't very appealing.

[Wilde Sky]

A fox steals a box assuming it contains something valuable.

This was a sweet short story for young children (who I expect will enjoy / appreciate it) with a small quiz at the end.

[Austin]

I managed to read most of the words by myself!
