Fantastic Mr. Fox is one of Roald Dahl's host charming and humorous small novels, which I still pick and read spontaneously. Mr. Fox and his family incur the wrath of the three local farmers by eating many of their animals. Bogus, Bunce & Bean take revenge against Mr. Fox and family not knowing that simultaneously Mr. Fox is taking revenge against them and raiding their cellars for a magnificent feast. Read this book, it will most certainly bring a smile to your lips.

Great story by Roald Dahl for readers of all ages. The evil farmers, Boggis, Bunce and Bean all try to stop the sly mr. fox from stealing food and cider from their farms, to feed his family. As they try various hilarious ways to starve mr fox and kill him, they are continually decieved by Mr. fox's igenuity. A great book that I still love to read.

Boggis, Bunce and Bean don't much like Mr fox and his family. In fact, they decide to kill him. However, there tiny, mutated little minds cannot begin to compete with intelligent Mr Fox, who is quite capable of keeping his family from starving or dying of thirst while Boggis, bunce and Bean stupidly wait for the five foxes to leave their hole and come within shooting distance.

Under the hill lives Mr Fox, with Mrs Fox and their children. Everything is going well until that fateful day when the three meanest farmers you could meet, Bogus, Bunce and Bean - decide that they are going to get those foxes. Mr Fox is trapped - he can't get out to feed his family - what is he going to do?

A brilliant book - combining humour, ingenuity and excellent characters to make a loveable and memorable story.

This was one of my favourite books as a child. It appeals to all ages so i know my mum had just as much fun reading it to me as i did hearing it! It is a classic Roald Dahl book that can be enjoyed by everyone. I highly reccommend this adventure to any parent or child alike!
