Suitcase and surfboard in tow, Fox sets out on foot to catch a wave. En route to the beach, he passes a bus, a train, and a plane (“catching” none of them), though Tabor’s images of these modes of transportation invite readers to catch fun details such as a pigeon riding the bus, a bat hanging upside down on the train, and a turtle waving from the cockpit of a vintage biplane. Then Fox catches a wave on his surfboard, still toting his suitcase, and rides it to shore. From here, Tabor provides a gently slapstick series of events—involving a tumble down a waterfall and a splash in a chilly pool of water—culminating in Fox catching a cold. A final wordless image offers a laugh-out-loud punchline to the story, with Fox dreaming of catching a bus in a most unusual way. In this latest clever offering in his winning series, Tabor writes in short sentences with controlled vocabulary to make text accessible for the newest of readers, while illustrations rendered in pencil and watercolor add visual interest and humor.
