Review: Not sure it would be something I'd want my kids to read

First off, the writing is a little old for a children's picture book.  It's not bad, per se, just over the heads of the age group I would think is being targeted, based on the illustrations....which are very cute, by the way.The storyline is my main concern.  Basically the fox gets away with lying, stealing, and cheating the coyote out of his food.  Now, if the fox met with some sort of retribution, or was in some way portrayed as being bad (rather than clever), my opinion would be different.  But he's not.  He's portrayed as being the smart one because he lies and deceives...even in the book's blurb...and the coyote is portrayed as stupid, and mocked because he believes the fox.This is not something I would want my children to learn, and rather than having to editorialize while reading this to my kids, I would have them read something that has a better moral to the story.Sorry, but I'd not recommend this.
