This story has a message about not believing everyone when they are being nice . The fox is bad in the story and I felt bad for the crow.

The fox was quite cheeky. The fox was cunning as well. The crow got tricked by the fox. The crow had some cheese which fell out of her beak when the fox said ‘can you sing’ and the fox ate it up.

Fox was being greedy! He could of asked for half. I like this book, if the crow said no then he would probably do the same thing he did and that’s selfish.

I liked that fox got what he wanted but he wasn’t nice about it. He did say nice things because he meant them, he only said it because he wanted something which is mean
