The story written by hogrogian, is an old armenian tale which has been retold. It is the story of a fox who was traveling through the great forest, he became very thirsty, and came across an old farm woman.

Until finally he was able to take the jug of milk to the old farm woman, and she sewed back his tail.
Critical Reception[edit]
Nonny Hogrogian wrote a book called One fine Day, and this book won a Caldecott medal in 1972. Meghan writes " this is a beautifully illustrated story about a young fox who steals a drink of milk and then suffers the loss of his tail because of it. Through determination and a willingness to work with others, this fox finally rights the wrong he committed at the beginning of the story and gets his tail back." She also talks of a "very simple cumulative plot, but through repetition and accumulation, the story develops a rhythm that younger listeners will love." This book is an adorable retelling of an armenian story. It is the story of a second chance so to speak, the old woman gives the fox a chance to get his tail back after he stole a drink of her milk. He must depend on other animals to help him get his tail back. Powells book calls it "most distinguished picture book of 1971". Another person says that this book has a "compelling message about taking things that do not belong to you". This very imaginative, illustrative book shows children that they shouldn't be taking things that do not belong to them.
