Have you ever thought of being chased by three mangy farmers? That's what happened in the book Fantastic Mr. Fox, by Roald Dahl. In this book, Mr. Fox and his family try to escape from three farmers Boggis, Bunce, and Bean. Towards the middle of the book, Mr. Fox and his children sneak food from Boggis, Bunce, and Beans' storage houses. I liked it when Mr. Fox and his children find Boggis' chicken house #1. I also liked it when all the animals had a great feast. The words in this book are great because you can picture the setting in your head. The message Roald Dahl shared with me was never give up on trying to find your way. Will Mr. Fox and his family escape from three grouchy old farmers? Find out in this great book. But don't take my word for it! Read it yourself!

Fantastic Mr. Fox tells of a fox who successfully steals from men who prize their fowl. Boggis, Bounce and Bean know what's going on and hope to catch Mr. Fox but his varied tactics are too clever for them. With whimsical black and white drawings by Quentin Blake, this presents some rollicking events.

Reading a Roald Dahl book for a bookloving child, -it has to be a success :-)My six year old love this book, as she does with most of Roald Dahl's books.
This is one of the early books from Roald Dahl's pen, but he has already started to develop his special style, the style making the small readers or listeners open their eyes and ears a little extra, wow, can this really be true? And of course all we read is true, in the world of Roald Dahl. Every kid instinctively understand this and can inhabit the Dahl-world in seconds.
Fantastic Mr. Fox is about Mr. Fox and his fight for his family's life, to escape from the three farmers, Boggis and Bunce and Bean, one fat one short one lean. Our loyalty is set right in the beginning of the book, and then we can fight with Mr. Fox and his children through the pages. Mr. Fox is always at least one step ahead of the three farmers, and his plans are so fantastic none of us have fantasy enough to come up with them ourselves, but when we read about the fox we say to ourselves, of course, it has to be like this, just like it was our own idea from the beginning.
No one can write fantastic stories like Roald Dahl. I am happy and thankful for all the books he manage to give us.

I pre-read this book and I am glad I did. I was really bothered that the mother animals were willing to lie down and die and have their children die rather than to try and escape - by helping "Mr. Fox" dig their way out. I don't expect animal behavior to be realistic but this was ridiculous. At the time I had another criticism of the book but I have forgotten it.
