Fox really, really wants to win the jumping contest. He knows just where he’ll put that first-place trophy. The only problem Fox is not a very good jumper. But he is a very good schemer. . . .

The irrepressible Fox (sort of) wins and (sort of) gets his comeuppance in this hilarious modern-day trickster tale.

About the Author

Corey R.Tabor is a skateboard-riding, beard-growing, book-devouring illustrator. He creates his illustrations with pencil and watercolor and a dose of digital wizardry. Corey lives in Seattle with his lovely wife and spends his time making pictures and stories, including Fox and the Jumping Contest, his picture book debut.

Industry Reviews

"The text is drily witty, and the comical illustrations, rendered in pencils, watercolors, and ink and assembled digitally, are energetic and appealing. Kids may want to have jumping contests of their own after reading this-just omit jetpacks." -- Kirkus Reviews "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 "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." -- Booklist
