Fantastic Mr Fox

Fantastic Mr Fox
by Roald Dahl.

Fantastic Mr Fox is the story of Mr Fox, his wife and their four cubs. Mr Fox regularly helps himself to chickens and ducks from three horrible farmers. One day the farmers decide that they have had enough and try to dig out the Fox family. When that doesn't work, they wait for the Fox family to come out. What they don't know is that the family have dug their way right into the barns of the farmers and are helping themselves to chickens, vegetables and apple cider. The family meet lots of other animals along the way and share their feast with them!Candyfloss by Jacqueline Wilson

Hannah, the Brownie Book Club Editor thinks this...

I remember reading Fantastic Mr Fox when I was a little girl and I love reading it again for the Book Club. I see a lot of foxes where I live and I always think of them as horrible creatures, but reading this book makes me feel sorry for them! I just wish that the farmers could be nicer and help out the Fox family every now and again. I don't think I have ever read a Roald Dahl book that I don't like. This has to be one of my favourites - along with George's Marvellous Medicine and The BFG.

I read Fantastic Mr Fox last year when our school made us write a review on one of this books for Roald Dahl day. I chose this book and got it from my local library. I wish that the farmers weren't so mean and let the Fox family have some chickens because the fox cubs sound so cute!

I only read this book a few weeks ago and it was the best book I've ever read! I love the bit where the foxes are stealing all the food from the farmers! Its very funny!! I wish the farmers at least let the foxes have a few chickens and hens! I thought it was funny when the farmers were digging into the foxes den and getting no nearer to the foxes because the foxes were moving all the time! I think fox cubs are very cute!

Lucy, aged ten thinks this...

I read it at school and i thought the book was brilliant I also thought that the baby foxes were really cut so were all of the other baby in the book. I likes the part when they were under the ground and having a huge feast on the farmers food and the farmer were going crazy about there food i liked the book it was fabulous.

I thought that fantastic Mr Fox was a really great book. I really enjoyed it. But my favourite part about it was the end. ("And so far as I know, they are still waiting.")

Alexandra, aged seven thinks this...

I have just read Fantastic Mr Fox it is my favourite story and I also listen to it on audio book every night at bedtime. My favourite part is when Mr fox is getting all the food for the feast, the worst part is when Mr Fox's tail gets shot off.

Holly, aged seven thinks this...

In school we are learning about Roald Dahl. I love Fantastic Mr Fox, but Matilda comes second best. One thing i love about the book is that the fox is shown as a person, a clever man fighting for his, and his family's lives. I love the way Mr Fox outwitted the farmers, serves them right! They are mean and horrible and they deserved everything they got!
