Introduction
INFORMATION ABOUT THE AUTHOR (PART A)

The Tale of Tricky Fox was written by Jim Aylesworth and illustrated by Barbara

McClintock. The book was published in 2001 by Scholastic Press, New York.

There were many books we wanted to use to

create this teaching unit. The books we first thought of

were from renowned authors, therefore, we kept looking

and we eventually found The Tale of Tricky Fox from an

author we had never heard of. We were instantly attracted

by its catchy title and its beautiful illustrations. The cover

page shows the fox with his sack on his back winking at

the reader and a lady standing in the distance with her arms crossed. McClintock, the

illustrator, clearly accomplished her work by capturing the essence of the entire story in

a single illustration. The reader knows what to expect from the story just by looking at

the cover page. After reading the book for the first time, we thought the story was quite

interesting. We loved how the author, Jim Aylesworth, begins his story in a classroom

with a teacher telling the tale of Tricky Fox. By doing this, Aylesworth slightly twists the

classic fairy tale formula we are used to by encasing his actual tale within a specific

context. Thus, we believed this opens the door to a second level of understanding and a

deeper literary analysis. We also thought there was a valuable lesson in the story that

may discourage students from trying to trick their teacher. Additionally, we noticed there

is a great deal of symbolism and typical fairy tale elements such as the

anthropomorphized foxes and repeated story patterns for instance. The unexpected

1
ending of the story was also a feature in which Aylesworth defied the classic fairy tale

characteristics.

After doing some research on the story, we discovered that it was originally called

The Travels of a Fox. The tale originated from Massachusetts and was first collected by

Clifton Johnson and printed in The Outlook in 1987. Students will probably enjoy the

story as much as we did. The author’s “generous doses of loud sounds, rhythms, and

rhymes” (Aylesworth.net, 2000) is the key to ensure the students’ enjoyment of the

story. He has learnt that children enjoy finding these elements in stories so he tries to

integrate them as much as possible in his writing.

The author, Jim Aylesworth, has a graduate degree in

elementary education. As a teacher, he has to deal with children’s

literature on a regular basis. This has led him to value this type of

literature. As it is said on the Scholastic’s website, Aylesworth “is

amazed how a good book will make a room full of children sit and

pay attention.” He made his writing debut in 1980 with Hush Up! and has written more

short stories ever since. Aylesworth mentions that “[w]riting children’s books is the way

of being the teacher beyond the walls of my classroom for children that I may never

know.” By writing stories, he discovered a passion for children picture books and won

many awards during his teaching years.

SHORT LITERARY ANALYSIS (PART B)

The Tale of Tricky Fox is a tale where greediness and honesty battle over the

best. Tricky Fox’s greediness brings him to say that he will catch a pig. He plans to

exchange three goods in order to obtain it. He first exchanges a piece of log for a loaf of

bread. Then, the loaf of bread for a chicken and finally, he trades it again in order to

obtain the pig. Tricky Fox thinks he is wiser than humans and rejoices too early. It leads

to his perdition because the teacher sees him singing and dancing and beats him at his

own game by putting her bulldog in the sack instead of a pig. The story promotes

positive values; it teaches students the importance of being honest and that their actions

always have consequences.

There are multiple characters in the story but the two main ones are Tricky Fox

and the teacher. Tricky Fox and Brother Fox have anthropomorphic characteristics such

as the ability to speak. It would be logical to believe that the author gave these

characteristics to the foxes in order for them to be able to interact with the human

characters in the story and, ultimately, trick them. Basically, the author could have made

Tricky Fox and Brother Fox human characters, but he used the fox as a symbol. In

common lore, the fox is a symbol of cunningness and trickery. Therefore, through the

humanistic appearance and fox symbolism used to portray Tricky Fox and Brother Fox,

the author criticizes the greediness of human nature and serves a moral to the reader.

Moreover, Tricky Fox’s superiority in relationship to his brother is also symbolically

portrayed in one of the first illustrations. Tricky Fox is standing tall with an arrogant and

confident look while Brother Fox, on the other hand, is sitting down and seems to be in

admiration of his brother. Throughout the story, Tricky Fox encounters three ladies. The

first two ladies are portrayed wearing an apron and are given no specific title. On the

1
other hand, the third and final lady Tricky Fox encounters is described as a teacher and

is the only lady portrayed wearing a skirt and holding a book in her hands. The book she

is holding and her teacher status can be analysed as symbols of knowledge and

wisdom, thus, giving her the ability to foil Tricky Fox’s cunning plan.

Aylesworth presented the story in a fairy tale manner and some of the

characteristics can be observed. The tale has a timeless setting and it is set in the

woods. The talking fox is a magical event since usually foxes cannot communicate orally

with humans. The one possessing the magic, the fox, is the evil character. In

opposition, there are the ladies who are innocent and generous. The protagonist of the

story, even though it may seem to be Tricky Fox, is the teacher. She is wise and

discovers the evil character’s plans. She completes her quest since her goal is to teach

her students a life lesson by telling them a tale. Moreover, the tale has a happy ending;

that is, foxes are respectful towards humans. Another important characteristic that may

be found in the story is the use of repetition. Tricky Fox goes to see humans three times

in order to get the pig. He says his little rhyme and has a pitiful look when he knocks on

the door and every time he obtains what he desires, he sings his lively song.

The illustrations are important in the development of the story because they are

used to support the words. By moment, the meaning of the story is enhanced by the

illustrations and other times, the illustrations give more information than the story itself.

For example, although the story omits telling that the teacher telling the tale is the

teacher in the tale, the illustrations provide this information. The facial expressions

accurately report the feelings that are either implied or describe by the author. The

illustrator took everything in consideration when she illustrated the tale. For example, as

the fox starts to put larger objects in his bag, the illustrations portray it.

2
The tale is appreciated by many and as it can be read in the March 2001 issue of

School Library Journal, "... The romping good humour of the story is carried by the old-

fashioned illustrations in sepia tones. ... priceless." And the Publishers Weekly, in March

2001, announced that the tale’s “[c]leverly paced repetition and an unexpected ending

make this droll caper a winning choice".

Title: The Tale of Tricky Fox Teaching Unit

Description: The Tale of Tricky Fox is a wonderful story that can be used with Elementary Cycle 3 students.
Many activities were designed in order to maximize the use of the story. All three competencies
will be set forward throughout the various activities. By using this unit, students will learn about
various animals and how to describe them. They will also learn different types of feelings and
various grammar notions.

It should be noted that the story should be read as often as possible, in order to familiarize the
students with the language used and the development of the story. Though, throughout the first
section of the unit, the story should only be read until the part where the teacher says, “That
rascal!”she said to herself. “I’ll fix him!”

DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTIVITIES

First section:

Activity 1: The Teacher’s Yard


It is a jigsaw puzzle about animals: Students will have to read their clues and
discuss together in order to find the animal that was seen in the teacher’s yard.

Activity 2: What’s in Tricky Fox’s Bag?


Students are given a list of farm and wild animals. They have to classify them
according to their size.

Activity 3: Dealing with Feelings


In the story, many emotions can be found. This activity will enable students to
familiarize themselves with the vocabulary.

Activity 4: Homework
Since the rest of the unit focuses more on grammar and creating a small project,
the unit review was put here. It’s a crossword that can be done either as a
homework or in-class. It reviews the animals and feelings seen in the previous
activities.

Activity 5: Tricky Grammar (Simple Past)


This activity was made in order to give students the opportunity to get familiar
with the simple past. This activity will help them get prepared for the following
activity. Students will be put in context, then the grammar will be
decontextualized and finally, students will be asked to recontextualize their
learning.

Activity 6: What if...


Every time the story has been read to the students, the ending was never read.
This was to ensure that students’ imagination is not constrained by the real
ending. In this activity, students have to create their own story ending. Students
must present their version of the story to the class.

Second Section:

Activity 7: Help Me Remember...


In this activity, students are asked to discuss in groups, write questions for
another team and exchange papers. Once they have received new questions,
they discuss together in order to find the answers.

Activity 8: Story Scramble


In the previous activity, students were given the opportunity to reflect and
analyze the story on their own. In this activity, students have to work in teams in
order to reorganize the scrambled story segments.

5
Activity 9: What Do You Remember?
It’s a comprehension activity. The whole story has been read to them now. They
must reinvest their understanding of the story in order to answer questions about
the story. Moreover, they are given the opportunity to practice using the
grammar forms seen previously.

Evaluation
To end the unit, an evaluation activity was created to verify what students have

Read the following excerpt from the story and notice how the highlighted verbs are
written.

And Tricky Fox, he picked up his sack, and he ran off into the woods.

Tricky Fox ran, and he ran, and he kept on running until just before it started getting dark. Then
he stopped, and he picked up a little piece of log, and he put it into his sack.
Then he knocked on the door of a nearby cottage.

When a lady opened the door, Tricky Fox hunched over like he was feeble, and in a rickety
voice he said:
“I’m on my way to Bonny Bunny Bay.
The night grows cold,
And I’m so old.
Please let me stay.”

The lady felt sorry for him, and she said, “Okay, I’ll let you stay, but no tricks!”
“Oh, no!” said Tricky Fox. “I’m so worn out, I can’t think of anything but curling up in front of your
fire. I’m just worried about my sack, is all. I don’t’ like for anyone to look in it, and I’m too tired to
guard it.”
“Don’t worry,” said the lady. “Leave it with me. I won’t look in your sack.”
“I know you won’t,” grinned Tricky Fox, and he handed her his sack and pretended to fall
asleep.
