Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl

We read this in two days. Dane wouldn't let me stop reading, and it's so short that we made it through it in only three sessions. Even Graham enjoyed a lot of it--he probably would have listened to more if we'd only done fifteen minutes at a time. He really liked the pictures of the diggers and the hill after the farmers had gouged out most of it. But we all liked the story of Fantastic Mr. Fox, who manages to outsmart the three mean farmers who are trying to kill him for stealing their chickens, ducks, geese, and turkeys. There's nothing too deep to say about it, but it's definitely a fun read.

I caught Graham singing to himself, "Boggis and Bean, Boggis and Bean" (the names of two of the farmers) after we finished reading this. So cute.
