"Fantastic Mr Fox" is the legendary tale of the most cunning fox in the world by Roald Dahl. Every time Mr Fox steals a chicken from the farm, Farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean grow wild with rage! They're the nastiest crooks in the valley, and they've concocted a cunning plan to dig him out of his hole once and for all. But it never occurs to them that Mr Fox has a fantastic plan of his own..."A true genius...Roald Dahl is my hero" (David Walliams). With an exciting look into Roald Dahl's world. Roald Dahl, the best-loved of children's writers, was born in Wales of Norwegian parents. After school in England he went to work for Shell in Africa. He began to write after "a monumental bash on the head", sustained as an RAF pilot in World War II. Roald Dahl died in 1990. Quentin Blake is one of the best-known and best-loved children's illustrators and it's impossible now to think of Roald Dahl's writings without imagining Quentin Blake's illustrations.

I love this book and it is also really funny. It talks about 3 farmer who own different types of farms. Fantastic Mr fox always get most meals there for his family. The farmers decided to kill him. So they dug a hole to find the fox. Then Mr fox made a tunnel that lead to the farms and while the farmers were digging, fantastic Mr fox stole a lot of food and his family had a very big feast. If you want to find more details, read the book yourself.

This book is about a fox how want's all of this farmers star. Like food.

This book, in 2nd grade, was my favorite book. The farmers were so funny, and the foxes so clever. It is definitely a good read for first to third graders.

Well there's this fox, and every night he steals from one of three farmers. So the farmers decide to kill him. What I thought of it: Well, it wasn't very well written, but it wasn't horribly written. I didn't like the illustrations. Those kinds of illustrations really creep me out for some reason. Also, the characters didn't really seem to have personalities. It really didn't keep my attention. It was actually pretty boring. I'm glad that the movie made the story more interesting. Overall, it was ok, but the movie was way better.
