Anansi the Spider meets Jon Klassen in this wickedly witty debut.

When a suspiciously polite fox attempts to coax his next meal out of a burrow, he is met with a clever rabbit who has been cooking up a surprise for this very moment! Careful readers may spot what is in store for fox before he does in this darkly funny cautionary tale that roots for the underbunny.
