The Too-Clever Fox by Leigh Bardugo

Blurb taken from Goodreads.

"In Ravka, just because you avoid one trap, it doesn't mean you'll escape the next. This story is a companion folk tale to Leigh Bardugo’s upcoming novel, Siege and Storm, the second book in the Grisha Trilogy."

___

The Too-Clever Fox by Leigh Bardugo is such a wonderful read. It reads like an old folklore told by an elder. It's so whimsical and fantastical. It's very old school init's style, it has a very big learning moral at the end and even some poetry scattered throughout it's few pages.

I wouldn't say this is appropriate for younger children but it is suitable for pre-teens, which I can appreciate. Not for it's morals, although anyone can take away from it, but it's style and how it's told as if by a sweet, elderly narrator.
