    I read this to my niece. It's a clever tale and teaches children a valuable lesson. I just corrected the language as I read aloud. I do that anyway for children's books, even when the author intended to use poor language. What's odd to me is that it appears the author put some money into the book, so why skimp on the editing?

    I've done that so many times with my students Ellie Jane. I just read along to them, show the pictures and improvise when necessary. I shall have to get How the Fox lost her Tail and see why it's so confusing for myself.
