Summary: Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Review: Mr. Fox is to clever for 3 farmers called Boggis, Bunce, and Bean. These are nasty farmers because they like to kill and they're evil.Mr Fox and his family live in a hole, under a huge tree on top of a hill.
Every night Mr. Fox goes to 1 of the 3 farms to steal something to eat.But doing this caused alot of problems.The 3 farmers wanted to strangle the poor fox to death!What do you think will happen?
I felt bad and good. I feel bad because its a shame that Mr. Fox has to steal food in order to keep himself and his family alive.I felt good because atleast his risking his live, and that shows that he really cares for his family.
I think that the 3 farmers don't have to kill the fox to keep their food safe.I also think that there are other ways for the fox get food.Like hunting for food.I loved this book so much that i couldn't put it down.I couldn't put it down because it was written by my favorite aouther ROALD DAHL.
This book was also funny because it said that Bean never took baths so he had all sorts of junk in his ear,like fly's, gum, and dirt.
I recommend this book to who ever likes funny stories, and to who ever likes ROALD DAHL books.

Summary: Fantastic Mr. Dahl
Review: Reading a Roald Dahl book for a bookloving child, -it has to be a success :-)My six year old love this book, as she does with most of Roald Dahl's books.

This is one of the early books from Roald Dahl's pen, but he has already started to develop his special style, the style making the small readers or listeners open their eyes and ears a little extra, wow, can this really be true? And of course all we read is true, in the world of Roald Dahl. Every kid instinctively understand this and can inhabit the Dahl-world in seconds.

Fantastic Mr. Fox is about Mr. Fox and his fight for his family's life, to escape from the three farmers, Boggis and Bunce and Bean, one fat one short one lean. Our loyalty is set right in the beginning of the book, and then we can fight with Mr. Fox and his children through the pages. Mr. Fox is always at least one step ahead of the three farmers, and his plans are so fantastic none of us have fantasy enough to come up with them ourselves, but when we read about the fox we say to ourselves, of course, it has to be like this, just like it was our own idea from the beginning.

No one can write fantastic stories like Roald Dahl. I am happy and thankful for all the books he manage to give us.

Summary: FANTASTIC
Review: The fantasy written by Ronald Dahl titled Fantastic Mr. Fox will keep you in stitches. This story takes place on a farm where three farmers lived. One was fat, one was short, and one was lean. Their names where Boggis, Bunce and Beans. The most important character of them all is the fantastic Mr. Fox. Mr. Fox steals from the farmers. He steals chickens, turkeys and cider from the farmers. As a result of his stealing, the farmers want to catch and kill him. But will it work? Check the book out and see.
I recommend this story to kids of all ages. This book is a must read book. It is a humorous book to read. The fox is so sly he steals from the farmers without getting caught sometimes. One time he pushed the limit too far. As a result they went hunting for him. The book is a good book for you if you like to get in trouble. To find out more take an easy trip down to library and check it out.
Ronald Dahl has written more than 8 exquisite books. He is such such a good author himself. This is a book which stand above the clouds. Check it out at your local library and have a ball reading this book.

Summary: Fantastic Mr. Fox
Review: I recommend this book because it's funny. I liked the drawings by Roald Dahl because they are silly. Boggis, Bunce and Bean are three mean farmers trying to kill Mr. Fox because he keeps on taking their food. Mr. Fox out-smarts them by making them think he is one place when he is another. I especially liked when Mr. Fox and his friends had a feast because no one can hurt them, and I can't believe that the farmers are still waiting for Mr. Fox to come out. (They are probably skeletons and bones by now!) For anybody who didn't read this book, I think you should read it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: strangest book ever
Review: Have you ever seen a fox family so brave to survive from evil farmers?
Mr.Fox and his family have to survive with out coming out of their hole because the farmers will shoot them. Boggis, Bunce, and Bean are nasty farmers after Mr.Fox and the family. They have to face changes when they are living underground. The farmers never stop digging until a certain point. The Fox family used to steal animals from the farms so that is why the farmers are after them.
I would give this book three stars. The theme of the story is never to steal from some one.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Fantastic Mr.Fox
Review: In Fantastic Mr. Fox three rich farmers were trying to shoot a fox. One farmer is fat and has chickens and eats three a day. One farmer is very short. On his farm he has duck and geese, but he eats doughnuts stuffed with goose liver. The last farmer is tall and thin. He has turkeys and a big apple orchard. All he would eat was apple cider. The fox had been stealing their chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys. This is a story about three farmers trying to get a fox.
I really like this book. It has a lot of detail. It is funny and written well. Roald Dahl is a great author.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic Mr. Dahl
Review: This book has been my favorite ever since the first time that I read it. It tells the story of a fox who has to go out and get food from three farms that are nearby in order to feed his family, but there are three farmers, named Boggis, Bunce, and Bean, who don't like the fact that Mr. Fox is stealing from them and they band together to kill him. He then has to find ways to avoid the farmers and save his family at the same time. The book keeps little children hanging on every word and has an excellent ending that they'll love. The excitement makes it a great book to read to little brothers, sisters, or kids. I read it to my sister and she wouldn't let me stop till I had finished the entire book.

Roald Dahl makes some of the greatest children's books that are very imaginative and help develop a child's imagination. I would recommend that on top of this one, get some of Roald Dahl's other books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you have a child who hates to read... give him/her this!
Review: Fantastic Mr. Fox is a slim book; it certainly is not as long as "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "The BFG", or other Roald Dahl classics. If you have a young reader who hates to read or has a hard time reading, "Fantastic Mr. Fox" is an excellent choice. It's got great characters to root for, a fun plot and premise, and reads pretty quickly. I gave this to a young friend of mine who dreads reading, and he stayed up all night to finish it!

Summary: fantastic mr fox
Review: Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl
"Boggis and Bunce and Bean / one fat one short one lean/these horrible crooks / so different in looks / were nonetheless equally mean."

Roald Dahl's story, Fantastic Mr Fox is aimed at 7 to 10 year olds. I reviewed this book because it deserves getting a mention and I think every one should read it.
The story is a basic farmer vs vermin story (similar to the story of peter rabbit) Mr Fox the hero lives in his burrow with his family of four little foxes and his wife called Mrs Fox. Every night before dinner, Mr fox asks Mrs fox what she would want for dinner a nice plump goose or a chicken (of course they both come with cider). The foxes lived up on a hill under a tree and every night Mr Fox would go out and sneak into three mean farms as quoted earlier and steal a chicken or goose and some cider. The farmers had known about Mr Fox for some time and planned to shoot him as soon as he comes out of his hole (the Fox avoids this). I wont give too much of the story away but it involves big machines, digging, complaining badgers rabbits etc and stealing. The pictures on every 3rd page are done by Quentin Blake.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent!
Review: I read this book to my 4 year old (he can't read yet), and both of us enjoyed it soooo much. Will keep the little ones attention chapter by chapter.
