"Fantastic Mr Fox" is the legendary tale of the most cunning fox in the world by Roald Dahl. Every time Mr Fox steals a chicken from the farm, Farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean grow wild with rage! They're the nastiest crooks in the valley, and they've concocted a cunning plan to dig him out of his hole once and for all. But it never occurs to them that Mr Fox has a fantastic plan of his own..."A true genius...Roald Dahl is my hero" (David Walliams). With an exciting look into Roald Dahl's world. Roald Dahl, the best-loved of children's writers, was born in Wales of Norwegian parents. After school in England he went to work for Shell in Africa. He began to write after "a monumental bash on the head", sustained as an RAF pilot in World War II. Roald Dahl died in 1990. Quentin Blake is one of the best-known and best-loved children's illustrators and it's impossible now to think of Roald Dahl's writings without imagining Quentin Blake's illustrations.

This book is about a fox and his family. Everybody calls the dad fox Fantastic Mr.Fox because he reall was fantastic. This book is really about how Mr.Fox and his wife and children are trying to get food from these really mean farmers. They have all kinds of meats their apple cider and much more. The farmers are trying to kill all the animals their so they wouldn't steel any of their foods. Read this funny book and you'll find out more!

A fox lives with his wife and four children on top of a hill. They live close to three farmers. The fox takes one animal, from each farm per night. The three farmers want to kill him, but instead they get his tail. That’s when they want to dig his house out. Does the fox get caught or does he do what he wants? What will the farmers do?Will they meet other animals to do what the Fox wants to do? Why is Fantastic Mr. Fox called like that? If you want to know all this, read Fantastic Mr Fox. I liked this book because there is always a problem. The illustrations were very interesting... they are in 3D! You only have to imagine the colours. If you like books that have animals and guns, then this is the book for you! Roald Dahl exaggerates things to catch the reader's attention. On this book he exaggerates the three farmers characters because the fattest character, he makes him really fat; the second farmer is really tall and thin; and the third farmer is super small. He makes the reader never want to leave this book. I recommend this book to children that are between 7 and 12. I know they will love the book.

This story is about a fox. They call him Mr. fox. He lived up in a hill, in the woods under an ENORMOUS tree with his children and wife. Every night, when Mr Fox goes to the farms that were near there, he steals chickens and much more from them. Farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean grow wild with rage! They're the nastiest crooks in the valley, and they concoct a cunning plan to dig him out of his hole for once and for all. Will Mr. Fox be caught? What will the farmers do? Will they catch him? Will they kill him? Will they eat him? I recommend this book because it is funny and it is especially written for kids. It has beautiful drawings made by Quentin Blake. It was the best story I have ever read. Roald Dahl entertains the reader by exaggerating everything, He exaggerates the good or bad qualities of the characters. I loved reading this story!

The book is about a family of foxes that were very hungry.So the dad went to steal food from three farmers.When they saw him trying to steal, they wanted to kill Mr Fox. Will Mr Fox steal the food to the farmers? Or will they kill him? If you want to know what happened at the end, read this wonderful book! My favorite part was when one farmer failed his shot at Mr Fox because I didn’t want the farmers to kill Mr Fox.I enjoyed this book because I like animals. The story is funny and it teaches you not to go to the forest alone. I recommend this book to the children that like action and eating well. It is for children who are between 7 and 10 years old.

Mr Fox is such a genius guy that solves every problem that his family have. I can't believe that Bean and the other farmers wanted to kill Mr Fox but never did because they're dumbos.
