Fantastic Mr Fox, by by Roald Dahl

I love this book. Not sure I'll feel the same way once we get our own chickens though! I've been reading this to my 5yr old ds and he's fascinated by it.

This is a great introduction to Roald Dahl. Simple language, great storyline and very funny. My five year old laughed all the way through and was on tender hooks til the next chapter. My husband and I had to take it in turns to read it to him and needed an update when we missed a chapter.

We all love this book - from Dad down to baby! Although it is a bit rough on the chickens I think!

I loved this as a child but strangely enough, my DD (5 when read to) hated it!! Total surprise to me. She found it scary and it gave her bad dreams. Not to put you off as it is a wonderful book, perhaps I got too dramatic when reading it..

"Our favourite Dahl book - also the one he considered to be his best. Hilarious characters, quite cheeky and a really gripping story. Also tells story of united family, loyalty, friendship etc. We read it again and again." "This was the first 'chapter' book I read with my son and had explained that we'd read it over the course of a few nights. Then we sat down and read it cover to cover in one sitting." "It's great fun, with brilliant characters and really exciting."
