Truly fantastic! Roald Dahls reading only adds more charm to this delightful story about Mr. Fox and his outwitting of three neighbor farmers. Dahl takes the listener down the foxhole with Mr. Fox and his family, magically transforming the world into tunnels beneath the fields. The listener is privy to the inner thoughts of both human and animal, a rare treat indeed. Dahls characterizations, both in writing and narration, are expertly done. Its hard to remain in the real world while listening to this delightful tale as Dahls mesmerizing reading captures the listeners total attention. Children and adults will listen to this audiobook over and over. D.L.M. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine--Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine--This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
Review
"This reprint of the 1970 edition tells the story of clever Mr. Fox, his adoring wife, and their four small children, who outsmart three of the nastiest, ugliest, and ultimately dumbest farmers ever to raise poultry. Librarians will want to consider purchasing this newly released edition."--Booklist.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
