What is The Fox and the Grapes about?

A hungry fox spots a bunch of ripe, juicy grapes hanging high above him. He leaps, stretches and tries every trick he can think of, but the grapes remain just out of reach. Tired and frustrated, the fox finally gives up and tells himself that the grapes were probably sour anyway. Told in lively rhythm and rhyme, this playful retelling of Aesop’s famous fable invites children to follow the fox’s determined attempts and discover its timeless lesson.
