Winner of the 1992 Caldacott, One Fine Day is about a fox who drinks the old lady's milk and she cuts off his tail. He goes through a series of tasks he has to accomplish in order to get his tail sewn back on. He meets a cow to ask for the milk, the cow ask for some grass, the fox then asks the fieldfor some grass. This barganing continues throughout the book and in the end, after completeing many task, a miller finally gives him the grain he needs to begin his trading. In the end, the old woman keeps her end of the deal and after receiving her milf she sews the fox's tail back. The illustrations in this picture book are bright and realistic. The illustration of the miller, old woman, maiden, peddler and the animals are well drawn and true to life. They look like they were drawn with pencil color or some type of charcoal. This an excellend book to teach order of events.
