Description
In a book that is as cheerful and charming as Snail himself, Corey Tabor tells a winning tale of slow but steady Snail, whose determination and kindness bring him the best reward of all: friendship.
When Snail spies a plump, crisp cabbage across the road, nothing will stop him--not a speeding car or even a hungry crow.
But then kindhearted Snail stops to help a crew of antsy ants in a rainstorm, and he loses his way. It looks like he will never get his treat--until Snail's new friends come up with an ingenious idea. . . .

Critical Reviews
PRAISE FOR FOX AND THE JUMPING CONTEST: "Tabor makes his debut with an energetic story about a jumping contest among a group of animals. Tabor's mixed-media cartoons create friendly and funny animal characters whose personalities come through loud and clear. The witty resolution suggests that cheaters can still do pretty well for themselves now and again." - Publishers Weekly
PRAISE FOR FOX AND THE JUMPING CONTEST: "Tabor's picture-book debut doesn't carry a lesson per se, but it does have plenty of laughs and utterly sweet illustrations. While Fox's friends aren't pleased to learn about his scheme, things (mostly) work out in the end." - ALA Booklist
PRAISE FOR FOX AND THE BIKE RIDE: "Tabor creates riotously lively, digitally assembled scenes with pencils, watercolor, and ink to accompany a satisfying, comical tale. A fun, free-wheeling romp." - Kirkus Reviews
PRAISE FOR FOX AND THE BIKE RIDE: "The spirit of camaraderie is high in this energetic, entertaining tale." - ALA Booklist
PRAISE FOR FOX AND THE BIKE RIDE: "Sly Fox makes both an entertaining and sympathetic protagonist, and the text is clever and amusingly dry, especially set against the comical going-ons in the illustrations. Viewers will happily double back to find the Easter egg jokes." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
PRAISE FOR FOX THE TIGER: "The overarching message of self-love is a good one, but the no-fuss acceptance of changing identities in text and dialogue is even better.... Feel-good, make-believe fun." - Kirkus Reviews
PRAISE FOR FOX THE TIGER: "A humorous ending provides a positive message of self-acceptance." - School Library Journal
