Review by Kirkus Book Review

The fourth appearance of the Marshalls' less-than-dutiful Fox is a little pale, a little stale, a little limp. In the first and snappiest episode, little sister Louise takes a tumble while Fox, last in TV, isn't looking after her; and he guiltily does everything she asks (even ""Rub my toes"") until, hailed by her friends, she quickly recovers. In the second sketch, Fox once again overcomes his fear of heights--only to find, when he's joined friend Millie on a scary tree limb, that she ""doesn't know how to set down!"" Finally, Fox wins a mad grocery-cart race through the supermarket--but winds up, after his mother's had a complaint call, behind a hand-mower: an ancient/antiquated put-down. But the droll pictures will probably keep the pages turning, regardless. Copyright ©Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
