That is Not a Good Idea!

by Mo Willems

A hungry fox meets a plump, innocent-looking goose with big, trusting eyes—and can’t believe his luck. He invites her for a stroll, and the gentle goose can’t say no. Suddenly, a little chick appears, warning, “That is NOT a good idea!” But the fox is on a roll, inviting the goose back to his hidden home in the deep, dark woods—and the goose says YES! Now, a chorus of little chicks shout warnings—but are they trying to help the goose… or the fox?
