Very fun, very silly! It's a quick read and a simple story. Farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean are just rich, stingy, weird and mean enough for you to root for the thief in the story, Mr. Fox (while still tsk, tsking him for being such an enthusiastic and braggadocious thief - he's got to feed his family, but he's no Jean Valjean). It's not the sort of thing you'd picture being adapted to film without some serious extrapolation and expansion, but Wes Anderson's sensibilities were just right to preserve and plus the odd, whimsical humor of the book.

Fantastic Fox

Mr.Fox is like any other fox except he has class. He is fancy but he does need to get out to feed his family. He has 4 hungry children so what does he need?? Food of course !! So our fantastic fox goes and takes a chicken or two. These greedy farmers can spare some but instead they hunt the fox and now he is trapped underground forever. Give this read a try and find out how it all ends. I read this to my son over the course of 3 nights and it was a lovely story.

I’m still thinking of the movie from years ago where they had the cussing with me scene!!
