From the creator of the bestselling Claude and the official World Book Day illustrator 2014, comes a delightfully silly tale of a fox that wants to eat an egg.
Egg rolls up to the house of the wicked Foxy DuBois. Foxy is always very kind to strangers and invites Egg in, but she's got a glint in her eye, and has devilish plans. The clues are there: recipe books, and pictures of fried eggs adorning her walls. Be careful, Egg!

These crazy characters also star in their own fiction series- Foxy Tales.
Alex T Smith is the World Book Day illustrator for 2014 and also the author of the internationally bestselling fiction series Claude, which was shortlisted for the Waterstone's prize and was part of the Richard and Judy Book Club.
