Any fans of Roald Dahl's "Fantastic Mr. Fox" book?
They're making an animated movie out of the book with George Clooney as the voice of Mr. Fox and Cate Blancett as Mrs. Fox.

That has to be my favorite childhood book and I loved the original publication of the book with the beautiful pictures drawn. You have to get one of the earlier publications with Donald Chaffin's illustrations. The copy they have available in the bookstores today are just horribly illustrationed



I just got a copy of my own off of Ebay. I still remember being a lil girl wishing I had a table at the big feast with all the animals. The movie should be good - I can see George Clooney as Mr. Fox!

2. I loved just about anything by Roald Dahl
I think my favorite for reading to my son was "The Enormous Crocodile", followed by "The Twits".

3. Roald Dahl is one of my favourite authors.
Read all of his children's books to my classes.
He really appealed to kids. Thanks for drawing this to
our attention. Looking forward to it. z
