It's not every day that dinner just shows up on your doorstep. It must be his lucky day!But as the piglet is quick to point out, shouldn't the fox give him a bath first? And wouldn't it be best to fatten him up a little, and give him a massage so he'll make for a nice tender roast?Preparing this feast is a lot of work, but the fox is sure it will be worth it. After all, it's his lucky day. Or is it?In a funny trickster tale of her own, Kasza keeps readers guessing until the surprise ending when they'll realize it was piglet's lucky day all along.
