Author:Roald Dahl,Quentin Blake

The legendary Roald Dahl story with full-colour illustrations by Quentin Blake throughout.

Fantastic Mr Fox - the tale of the most cunning fox in the world.

Boggis is an enormously fat chicken farmer who only eats boiled chickens smothered in fat.

Bunce is a duck-and-goose farmer whose dinner gives him a beastly temper.

Bean is a turkey-and-apple farmer who only drinks gallons of strong cider.

Mr Fox is so clever that every evening he creeps down into the valley and helps himself to food from the farms.

Now the farmers have hatched a plan to BANG-BANG-BANG shoot Mr Fox dead. But, just when they think Mr Fox can't possibly escape, he makes a fantastic plan of his own . . .

Listen to FANTASTIC MR FOX and other Roald Dahl audiobooks read by some very famous voices, including Kate Winslet, David Walliams and Steven Fry - plus there are added squelchy soundeffects from Pinewood Studios! And look out for new Roald Dahl apps in the App store and Google Play - including the disgusting TWIT OR MISS! and HOUSE OF TWITS inspired by the revolting Twits.

Reviews

A charming celebration of unconditional love, pooch style.

Clark’s rambunctious dog, Plum, whose exploits have been chronicled on the author’s blog as well as in a recent adult title, Plumdog, makes her picture book debut. Working in watercolor and pencil, Clark exuberantly captures Plum’s zest for life, whether it’s playing with the kids next door or causing trouble (like diving into the pond at the park) that tests his family’s patience. But unconditional love is unconditional love, and even at the height of Plum’s post-mischief worry—“Would they ever love me again?” she wonders, stuck in time-out—the answer to that question is never in doubt. Ages 3–5.

Dog lovers will especially “LOVE” this, and readers who can’t get enough can follow the real-life Plum in the author’s blog.

—— Kirkus Reviews

I think it is a perfect book for sharing and helping younger children understand that even if they do sometimes get up to mischief and get told off they will still be loved. I’m not sure that it is possible for any child (or adult) not to totally fall in love with Plumdog by the end of the story.

Wording is perfect for a 3-6 year old and illustrations are engaging and relay the exuberant and love-worthy Plum.

If Love Is My Favorite Thing isn’t the most fitting title for a book about the devotion of domesticated dogs, I don’t know what is.

—— Publishers Weekly

All ends well for Plummie in a picture book that’s just right for a day that celebrates love, even if you’re in the doghouse.
