Fantastic Mr. Fox is an interesting book about life in the countryside. Mr. and Mrs. Fox and their four cubs are trying to outwit three horrible farmers. The farmers are called Bunce, Boggis and Bean. They are really, really nasty. Roald Dahl paints vivid pictures of the three of them.
Mr. Fox is brave and very, very smart. He works together with Mr Badger, to keep their families safe underground, far from the diggers, shovels and guns of the nasty farmers. Mr Fox dug three tunnels, to each of the farm’s cellars and managed to steal all he could to feed all the animal families!
I don’t think Roald Dahl likes the farmers very much, as they get what they deserve. At the end of the book, they are all sitting around the foxhole in the pouring rain while the animals have a great big banquet underneath them.
All kids my age should find this book funny and hilarious and not too difficult to read on their own.

Description misleading!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 June 2020Verified Purchase
I was expecting the illustration Inside the book to be in red or some colour as it was stated eg ‘red interior text’. Why not just say ‘black and white illustration’. Disappointed to have paid £8.49 and now price dropped :(

Good product, inaccurate delivery, worth buying
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 March 2022Verified Purchase
Noted that one earlier reviewerhad complained of the illustrations being in black and white apart from the cover. In my copy all the illustrations were in full colour.
Looks to be a good birthday present, but the stated delivery details propmted my earlier review (of it not haveing been delivered). Turns out that 'posted through letterbox' in fact meant it was handed to a neighbour so in fairness a proper review is derserved.
Some of the text appears a little daunting for a young child, but might usefully prompt questions about the meaning of some words, widening their vocabulary. Decent quality print, hopefully will wear well.

We can learn from The Sly Mr Fox
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 July 2017Verified Purchase
Unforgettable.Read so many times since childhood.Got and read books in its various formats to children,niece/nephew alike and finally saw the play with son on the date of his tenth birthday at the Lyric theatre last year.So many unforgettable characters,so many wonderful subplots--the philosophy of cycle of life with its many chains and interdependencies--animals,nature,humans,food,birth,marriage,death,survival etc all encapsulated here by master storyteller RD.The show brought it to life and this cd serves to remind us that the world was made for all living things and the fox cannot be denied.

Colour illustrations
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 May 2022Verified Purchase
I loved this book as a child and wanted to read it to my son. As he’s only 3 years old I knew it would be important to show visual cues too and black & white illuminations would be less exciting, and potentially less clear. He loved the story and the excellent illustrations really helped us to talk about the story.
