Appreciating the great work behind the movie "Fantastic Mr. Fox" and also recommending the book "Fantastic Mr. Fox" by Roald Dahl on which that 2009 movie is based.
Though meant for kids, it's a good read. You'll love it, especially when Mr. and Mrs. Fox discuss what is to be stolen for supper.
I quote "Every evening as soon as it got dark, Mr. Fox would say to Mrs. Fox, 'Well my darling, what shall it be this time (for supper)? A plump chicken from Mr. Boggis' (farm)? A duck or a goose from Mr. Bunce's (farm)? Or a nice turkey from Mr. Bean's (farm)?' And when Mrs. Fox had told him what she wanted, Mr. Fox would creep down into the valley in the darkness of the night..."
The book is only 80 pages (12pt) and filled with entertainment. Try it or find one for your child (6 -11).
Enjoy...
