About this ebook
"On a hill above the valley there was a wood.
In the wood there was a huge tree. Under the tree there was a hole.
In the hole lived Mr Fox and Mrs Fox and their four Small Foxes. . . "
Mr Fox is a very clever fox - every evening he creeps down into the valley and helps himself to food from the nearby farms.
Chickens from Farmer Boggis, ducks and geese from Farmer Bunce, and turkeys from Farmer Bean.
But now the farmers have had enough, and together they hatch a plan to get rid of Mr Fox for good!
But what they don't know is Mr Fox has some help, and a fantastic escape plan of his own...

5 star rating for Mr. Dahl! It was a fantastic book filled with fun and mystery. I enjoyed it and hope to read it again if possible. I would never be able to write a book as fun-filled as Fantastic Mr. Fox! Eew! Bean was a wickety wick! I'd say if Boggis was real and I were a wizard i'd turn him into a pig! And bunce. I prefer not to do a big letter for is name because his height his totally the oppisite!
I hope you take my review as a good guide to the book before reading it. I hope you pick this book before any Mr. Dahl book.
Happy New Year!
