Fantastic Mr. Fox | Roald Dahl

The MF is straight from the mind of the literary great Roald Dahl. Along with illustrations by Quentin Blake this story is a classic that should be in anyone‘s classroom library. Go on a journey with Mr. Fox while he outsmarts the mean, short, and stinky farmers to save the day! A RT is the teaching strategy I would use with this novel. When using a RT in class the Reading Rocket website is a great resource.

Sdemps https://www.readingrockets.org/strategies/readers_theater UDL 5.3 Build fluencies with graduates levels of support for practice and performance along with EL #16 Integrate speaking, listening, reading, and writing activities are both met with a RT of Fantastic Mr. Fox. #ucflae3414sp21 4y
ToddSalerno Hey! Love this reading rockets site as a general resource for all read alouds. This specifically works well alongside your noted UDL/ESOL strategies. (Side note Check your spelling of Roald I think it autocorrected) 4y
DrSpalding I agree with TODD! Readers theater is a great idea and I love the image showing the latest movie version that includes George Clooney‘s voice! Fantastic. Use his books as book selection options in your middle grade classrooms. 4y

Mehso-so

This is a cute little story,more simple and possibly aimed at smaller children than other books of Roald Dahl.I give it a so-so because I don't think it's as good as other of his books and the word "Fantastic" on the title mislead me to think the fox was capable of more;but I did enjoy it.

I wish I'd listened to the audiobook, because it's read by Chris O'Dowd and I find hilarious absolutely everything he says:my response to him saying hello is?

The_Penniless_Author The Wes Anderson movie of this was pretty good. 4y
nanuska_153 @The_Penniless_Author I've been intending to read the book since it came out so I can watch it. Will definitely watch it soon. It's hard to imagine how is not a short film though! 4y
Johanna414 I read this to my son when he was 4 and he absolutely loved it. I think it‘s definitely one that is more geared towards younger readers 4y
nanuska_153 @Johanna414 yes, I'm reading the Roal Dahl's books as part of a bookclub with my nephews, and they loved it too, they thought it was so funny that the farmers are kept waiting...I felt a bit bad to give it a So-So but I did think it worse than other of his books (and than other books targeted for younger audiences) Still, I'd recommend it to a kid 4y

A decent, cute middle grade read. A very quick story at less than 100 pages. It reads quite simply & is a perfect tale for the younger middle grade set. The story is whimsical & clever, though I do think that the term fantastic may be expecting a little too much. It was entertaining & did have me laughing out loud in a few places. This would work very well as a comfort read & is a great choice for a bedtime chapter read with younger children.

Book review by a 4 year old:
"Lane, did you like this book?"
"Yeah! We read the whole thing!"
"What were your favorite parts?"
"Hmm... I liked the part where they cut Fox's tail off... and I liked when they got food for their mommy."

I'd say his 1st chapter book experience was a success! #raisingreaders

A thieving fox steals chickens, ducks, cider and other foods from three farmers who are nasty and greedy. As the farmers try to ambush Mr. Fox and his family, the sly animal has a ‘fantastic‘ plan to deceive them and save his family and other ‘diggers‘ friends from starving. Funny story that makes you root for the animals even though they were stealing from the humans!

Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl is a FANTASTIC story of Mr. Fox, who lives with his wife and four baby foxes. They steal chickens and ducks from the three mean old farmers named Boggis, Bunce, and Bean who soon begin to try and hunt down Mr. Fox. The book is a short read, so I believe utilizing this book as a part of an AS about Roald Dahl would be effective. #ucflae3414f19

CPettersen UDL principle 2.1 would be necessary as Roald Dahl was famous for creating new nonsensical words that students would not know unless they have read one of his books prior. ESOL 23 would thusly be effective not just for ESOL learners but for all learners to get some clarification on the terminology Roald Dahl has created in his book. 5y
DrSpalding This is your second book by this author. There is such a sense of wonder in his books. Use them in a variety of ways and consider an author study! He is fascinating. 5y

I downloaded this book so that I could share my love of “reading” with my 6 year old. I really wanted Esio Trot, but it was only available as an audio in this set. I was unfamiliar with the 3 other stories; the voices and some of the story in Fantastic Mr. Fox scared her and the story about the crocodile also scared her. Overall, we did enjoy this but I think I would‘ve preferred to have read it to her myself. 2019 book 2

This goofball finished his first ever chapter book! He loved it because 1. It had animals and 2. It was funny. He love saying “Boggis, Bunce, and Bean.”

Now he is asking for more chapter books. Any recommendations? He‘s 5 so it needs to be shortish, and he wants more about animals. I asked if dragons count but he said no ☹️. I tried Mr. Poppers Penguins about 6 months ago but he didn‘t like it.

My kids thoroughly enjoyed this book, the pictures and the story. When I read it to them they felt the plight of the Fox family and the other creatures, and because of that they became invested in the tale.

Was it as clever as the movie? No, but I rather enjoyed it myself. I think I do prefer the movie to the book because it seemed to expand on what was given here, but it was entertaining to read.

Roald Dahl is one of my favorites to read.

Dahl is a childhood favourite author, because his books are dark and funny, and often gross. All things that appeal to a child.
I remember finding the evil farmers terribly sinister and creepy as a child reading this! Quentin Blakes illustrations are inseparable from the authors words in my mind. Perfect pairing
#bookstagram #childrensbooks #britishauthor

Between.the.lines Omg I just read this book to my son last month we are working our way through Roald Dahl books at the moment and I didn't realise how dark they were. We were less sheltered as kids that's for sure haha 7y
Jamesfahyauthor @Between.the.lines I think kids like to be scared! It's a safe way, through fiction, to learn how to deal with real fears. Kids today can be too wrapped in cotton woll. It's not healthy 7y
