Brer Fox makes a tar baby in order to catch Brer Rabbit, so when Brer Rabbit shakes hands, he'll get stuck. 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.
