Review: Boggis, Bean, and Bunce, who are three unpleasant farmers that are being terrorized by a fox. This fox steals chickens, cider, and turkeys in order to feed his family. The farmers are tired of him so they plot together to kill him. Their plan is to ambush his living hole. However, Mr. Fox is quite the sly fox and digs from his hole all the way to the farmer's farms to steal right from under their noses. It is a story of strategy and revenge. Who comes out on top? Mr. Fox or the farmer's? You'll have to read to find out! This book was a great read aloud to a 4th grade class. They were very involved in the plot as each chapter left a cliffhanger to look forward too. The language is very appropriate for the tween age group and would be a great read for reluctant readers. There are illustrations and short chapters to motivate those not quite interested in reading. However, this book is recommended for readers of all ages.
