A Pig, a Fox, and a Box is a Theodore Seuss Geisel Honor winning story about Fox and Pig that is laugh-out-loud funny! Now available in Step into Reading, the premier levelled reader line.

In the style of Mo Willems, Jonathan Fenske tells three humorous stories of two friends, Fox and Pig, and their shenanigans with a cardboard box. Fox is sly and sneaky, but is he sneaky enough to play tricks on Pig? It doesn't often turn out well for Fox! With comic art and simple language, this title is sure to have kids rolling with laughter.

Step 2 Readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories, for children who recognise familiar words and can sound out new words with help. Rhyme and rhythmic text paired with picture clues help children decode the story.
