From the Publisher
“On a hill above the valley there was a wood.
In the wood there was a huge tree. Under the tree there was a hole.
In the hole lived Mr Fox and Mrs Fox and their four Small Foxes. . . “
Mr Fox is a very clever fox – every evening he creeps down into the valley and helps himself to food from the nearby farms.
Chickens from Farmer Boggis, ducks and geese from Farmer Bunce, and turkeys from Farmer Bean.
But now the farmers have had enough, and together they hatch a plan to get rid of Mr Fox for good!
But what they don’t know is Mr Fox has some help, and a fantastic escape plan of his own…

I bought this to read to my 4 year old granddaughter. Although she doesn’t live in the countryside and lives in Australia, she loved hearing how mr fox saved the day for his family and other animals.

I like that the foxes never got caught! and how mr fox invited all the other animals to the feast.
