Title: The Fantastic Mr. Fox
Written by: Roald Dahl
Illustrations by: Quentin Blake
In anticipation of the recent movie, I decided to first read the book that brought about its inspiration. The story is about three nasty, mean farmers named Boggis, Bunce and Beans and a family of foxes headed by Mr. Fox. The two groups are brought together when the farmers decide to devote all their attention to stopping Mr. Fox from stealing their chickens, ducks and turkeys. The lengths that these farmers go to in order to get Mr. Fox are ridiculous and fun.
It's a great, short read for anyone who wants to see the movie (which should include everyone). The movie is fantastic with Mr. George Clooney playing Mr. Fox.
