Fantastic Mr Fox (Young Puffin Books)

Ronald Dahl is one of my all time favorite authors and what an undertaking to adapt one of his fantastic novels into a movie! Although the animation style was very different than typical animated movies today, I think it just goes hand in hand with the unique writing style and story telling abilities of the author.

I adored the book. Roald Dahl is my favorite children’s author. My kids love his books too. I was thrilled to see my favorite director was going to take on the movie adaptation. He didn’t disappoint. 2 thumbs up. Going as felicity fox for Halloween.

Only Roald Dahl could make a tale about a family of foxes hiding underground while being chased by angry farmers entertaining.Fantastic Mr. Fox is one of Dahl’s books that I did not read as a child. However, the story quickly reminded me just how much I enjoy Dahl’s books and what a literary genius he was.In the spirit of his other tales, Fantastic Mr. Fox features hilarious illustrations by Quentin Blake. The book’s drawings emphasize the described looks of the characters and are as entertaining to look at as it is to read the book.I adore Mr. Fox and his family – a wife and three Small Foxes.

During their journey to escape the clutches of the farmers from whom Mr. Fox has been stealing poultry for ages, the Fox family come across other animals with whom they are acquainted, including Badger and Rat.I love the names of the farmers – Bean, Boggis, and Bunce – as well as their hateful attitudes toward the foxes, especially Mr. Fox. In all of the Dahl books I have read, there exist hilariously angry adult characters.Mr. Fox truly lives up to the saying ‘clever as a fox’, as he deftly maneuvers and leads his family and friends deep into the earth.

Book Delivered In Great Condition, But.....

The book was everything I hoped it would be, but there were some issues with the way it was delivered. I opted and paid for gift wrapping and a personal note from me. The book arrived in the delivery box with nothing but paper stuffing. I wrote a personal note from "Mr. Fox" to my 4-year-old son that I planned to keep in his box of memories. We're glad to have the book, but the presentation wasn't close to what I had planned or desired.

Do not order!

This is an absolute disgrace! Do not order, I ordered this book and it is currently a library book with the label inside it! This was a stocking filler for my little boys Christmas present! So now cant be given!

Excellent! Many thanks.

Excellent! Many thanks.

Fantastic Mr Fox - Roald Dahl

Beautiful book and story. My daughter had this when she was little. Bought as a gift for my neighbour's child.

Fantastic book!

Lovely quality hard backed book. My son's really chuffed with it and it was a great price, especially as it included delivery. He liked it so much he wanted to go to world book day at school as Fantastic Mr Fox! Definitely recommend.

Great Condition, Terrific Value!

Exactly as described! A few minor dings along the edge of the cover indicate the book was well loved and adds to its charm and character. Inside, the book is graced with smooth, intact pages. I ordered two, one of which came with a jacket in great condition, with or without it, this little blue book will be a handsome to your collection.

This is a beautiful edition

My grandson (6yrs old) has just learned to read. The font and illustrations in this edition make reading a delight for him. He has enjoyed reading the story to his little sister and they both love the humour in both the text and drawings.
