Lousy Rotten Stinkin Grapes by Marge Palatini

Lousy Rotten Stinkin Grapes by Marge Palatini, illustrated by Barry Moser, Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2009, ISBN 978-0-689-80246-1.
Summary: Retells the fable of a frustrated fox that, after many tries to reach a high bunch of grapes, decides they must be sour anyway. (from the publisher). Unlike Aesop's tale though, someone does get these grapes in the end. At the foxes direction (because, after all, he is the clever one), all the forest animals work together to try to get the grapes. Funny generalizations characterize the animals: bear ("your job is brawn. Not brain") and beaver ("my dentally challenged chum."), who actually have better ideas than the fox.
