Foxes Fritz and Franny are super psyched for their day at the amusement park, but they cannot decide which roller coaster to ride first. When they finally agree on "The Big One," they start to have second thoughts...

This is a fun early reader, with enough repetition of simple, declarative language to make it manageable for beginning readers. Seeing the two foxes (presumably siblings?) argue about the best coaster will feel rather relatable for many young readers who have visited a local fair or other amusement arena.

The story has a few short 'chapters' (not titled as such), which make for good places to take a break and also serve to give children a feeling of accomplishment after completing the book. Other than the chapter headings, all of the text is by way of dialogue between the two foxes.

Inexplicably, the characters are all talking, anthropomorphized animals, but they still have a pet dog. The illustrations are more cartoon-like than I typically enjoy but they fit the text well enough. ( )
