What I especially love is that the author shows a clever fox but not a malicious one. His characterization is entirely amiable (which is not always the case with stories about foxes). His optimism is amazing. I love optimistic characters. I didn't wanna read it. Had to read it for my younger cousin's school work. The plot centers around some farmers that try to kill Mr. Fox. They try to dig him out of his hole. Fox's clever solution? Dig down so they can't reach him. Unfortunately not a fantastic book, but it’s less problematic than some of Dahl’s other books.

His first children's book was The Gremlins, about mischievous little creatures that were part of RAF folklore. The book was commissioned by Walt Disney for a film that was never made, and published in 1943. Dahl went on to create some of the best-loved children's stories of the 20th century, such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda and James and the Giant Peach.

The 2009 Wes Anderson film featuring the voice talents of Bill Murray and George Clooney is a favorite of mine and so I was compelled to visit the original work, the beloved children’s book by the inimitable Roald Dahl. My 11-year-old discovered it at her school's book fair, and when I peeked inside and saw the publication date of 1970, I did a happy dance. Mr. Fox steels food from three farms own by nasty owners. He steels to keep his family alive. But one day the owners finally decide to kill him once and for all. But Mr. Fox is too clever for them.
