When, as usual, the flower was delivered, he took off the wrapping paper and then picked up the phone to call Detective Superintendent Morell who, when he retired, had moved to Lake Siljan in Dalarna. It happened every year, was almost a ritual. if you like books about children and/or animals outwitting adults.I would highly recommend this Roald Dahl book. To be fair, I haven’t seen the movie in a while. Fox is just too short for a movie, so they had to add a whole bunch new things into the movie, and none of it has the sheer genius of Roald Dahl. There was a movie made of it in 2009, and I saw some of it on a flight when it came out, but I don’t think it did this amazing book justice. It’s not laugh-out-loud funny, but it’s pretty entertaining. So this whimsical book is perfect for reading aloud or for just reading in a few minutes for some fun. Plus, a lot of space is covered by some pretty good illustrations (by Quentin Blake). I probably reread this book in about ten or twenty minutes. Fox isn’t my favorite Roald Dahl book (that honor would probably go to Matilda), but it’s certainly a book that I love and enjoy. Fox, we have instead a clever animal outwitting a bunch of stupid and mean adults. In many of Roald Dahl’s books, it’s about the children outwitting the grown-ups. Fox also has a wife and four small children to protect. Fox, they are determined to dig him out and then wait him out. Fox, and his ongoing battle against Boggis, Bunce, and Bean, three farmers who despise him because he always steals poultry from them. Fox is a short, but really clever and entertaining book. I recently reread Boy and The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More, so I figured it was time to reread some more of his children’s books, all of which I love. They were also nasty men.Īh, how I love Roald Dahl. Down in the valley there were three farms.
