Puffin Audiobooks presents a marvellous new celebrity reading of Roald Dahl's Fantastic Mr Fox. The audiobook features original music and 3D sound design by Pinewood film studios.
Mr Fox steals food from the horrible farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean - one fat, one short, one lean.
These three crooks concoct a plan to dig Mr Fox out of his home, but they don't realise how truly fantastic Mr Fox is, or how far he'll go to save his family . . .
Listen to other Roald Dahl audiobooks read by some very famous voices, including Kate Winslet, David Walliams and Steven Fry - plus there are added squelchy soundeffects from Pinewood Studios!
Look out for new Roald Dahl apps in the App store and Google Play- including the disgusting TWIT OR MISS! inspired by the revolting Twits.

I've just finished reading this to my 5 year old son, I tried to read it to him before but only had a small, black and white illustrated, version which I've had for about 30 years. He was much more attentive and engaged with the story this time around and I think this has a lot to do with the book being larger in size (closer to A4) and full colour illustrations.
The chapters are quite short, which is good when reading you your child before their bedtime. There is no 'filler' , just amazing story on every page.
You've probably read this book before so know what is about, but if you don't have this larger, full-colour version, I strongly recommend you get it. It's 100% worth it. 😁

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.
By Sidonie, aged 6-3/4

A)The story is in accordance to a patriarchal hierarchy of the family. Mrs Fox gets weak as they hunting goes on, but clever Mr Fox finds a way to save her, the four kids and their friends. So minus one star.
B)There is a moral question. Fox steals to save his family and friends, but his friend Badger raises the question if it is ethical to do so. Stealing is always wrong, right? Apparently, not always. This issue can spark lots of thoughts and discussions.

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.
