Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl - Paperback

highly recommended

My daughter thoroughly enjoyed reading it

The book is nice but a little bit disappointing about the illustrations.

harika bir kitap kızım çok beğendi tavsıye ederim

Trying to complete a chapter book with my 7-year-old is usually an uphill battle, but he loved this one! Not only is the story fast-paced with enough action to keep young ones wanting more, but there are also moments that require taking a step back and talking about lessons that can be learned from the text. My son, daughter and I engaged in a long conversation about whether stealing is ever okay. If it is okay to steal in order to provide food for one's family, and whether Mr. Fox should have ever began stealing in the first place. We talked about alternatives to stealing and also about survival. Does Mr. Badger give in too easily? Is he "outfoxed" by Mr. Fox? There's also a point when Mr. Fox calls one of his children a "twerp." My children discussed whether parents should call their children names, and how Mr. Fox could have handled the situation differently, especially when the young fox was being thoughtful to others. Finally, there was the lesson about destroying nature and the effects on the ecological system. A great story with great lessons. This is a keeper in our home.

The quality was poor and there was mold on the pages. I am waiting for a refund and for Amazon to collect the book, but it is taking ages.

Un vrai bijou ! L’univers est original, l’humour décalé, et le style d’animation (ou l’écriture si c'est le livre) est unique. Mes enfants comme moi avons adoré. Un plaisir pour petits et grands, à voir ou à lire sans hésiter !
