A retelling of Uncle Remus''s classic tale of Brer Rabbit written for emergent readers! Brer Fox is always trying to catch Brer Rabbit. But Brer Rabbit is smart! Will he escape from a sticky trap set by that wily fox? Step 2 Readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories, for children who recognize familiar words and can sound out new words with help. Rhyme and rhythmic text paired with picture clues help children decode the story. "About fifty sentences, with one or two per gracefully color-cartooned page, this tale is reduced to the most basic motifs, but it does respect the ones it keeps. It will be a book to hand to kids who clamor for a version they can read for themselves."--Bulletin, Center for Children''s Books.
