About this worksheet
The Little Fox's Big Challenge tells of Pip, a small red fox who wants the blackberries on the far side of a rushing river. He is scared of the fast water, but he hops across the flat rocks anyway. 2nd grade students answer four questions with details from the text: who and where, what Pip wanted, how he responded to his challenge, and the central message. The sheet covers Common Core RL.2.1, RL.2.2 and RL.2.3 across 3 pages, and model answers are given for the written questions.
