Unexpectedly hilarious. Sure to find fans

When I initially requested this title from Netgalley I saw the fun cover and the interesting title. I wasn't sure what kind of book it would end up being. What it is is a fun graphic novel about a fox that isn't so good at being one. It is fun and funny with chickens that soon learn to depend on themselves to stop predators and not the farmer's dog.
The fox steals eggs (he never seems to be able to catch a chicken) to hatch then eat but the plan is turned on its head when the new little chicks imprint on the fox and call him Mommy! Meanwhile the Chickens are teaching themselves to fight and the chicken mom who lost her eggs is leading the way.

Super cute story of a fox trying his hardest to be his predator self but failing. I love the commentary the author makes on parenting (the chicks are stereotypical children) but it’s a bit trippy to think of the fox as mother - what’s the author’s commentary on motherhood by putting a predator in that role? Maybe nothing but it gave me pause.
The illustrations were also very cute. The chicks were definitely my favorite :)

- This book was hilarious! It had me laughing out loud from beginning to end.

- Gnome and I both read this but not together. She thought it was really funny too.

- The illustrations are the best! They add a lot to the humor.

- This was a very fun graphic novel that any age would enjoy.

Un renard très maladroit (et fatigué de manger des navets) décide de kidnapper trois œufs dans un poulailler afin de les faire éclore et de croquer les poussins dès qu'ils auront suffisamment de plumes sur les os. Son plan tombe à l'eau lorsqu'il s'aperçoit qu'il commence à s'attacher aux gosses. Mais c'est sans compter son "ami" le loup qui l'a aidé à mettre son plan en place, et qui est bien décidé à avoir sa part du poussin...

Une lecture hilarante, avec des personnages hauts en couleur, un rythme très soutenu et des dessins très efficaces qui servent redoutablement bien le comique de l'histoire. Mention spéciale au renard super attachant que personne ne trouve effrayant malgré ses efforts. C'est touchant et c'est bien trouvé. Le découpage est très fluide, rendant le tout très cartoonesque dans le bon sens du terme (mais y en a-t-il un mauvais ?). Une petite BD feel good que je ne manquerai pas de conseiller autour de moi.

A super adorable graphic novel about a not-so-scary fox that becomes the mommy to some baby chicks. I thought the chickens were hilarious and the illustrations were cute.

No se puede ser más mono que el zorro feroz.
Se lee del tirón y da mucha pena que se acabe. Los dibujos son geniales y tiene momentos de mucha risa.
