a fabulous book about a fox and his family who do what fox do . that be steal from farm and kill prey . until a trio of farmer decide they have have enough of this fox and try in various way to have the problem solve . they be of course out fox at every turn and while the trio be camp out at the fox hole the family perform raid against the three farmer land . thefilm version and and i use the term film very loosely and be more of a god awful pastiche of american heist movie particularly the ocean movie . they they even have george clooney a mr fox to to add to the insult and manage to miss the point of the story quite completely . so kudos to them . they will make lot of money and destroy another classic roald dahl child book .
