Fantastic Mr. Fox / Roald Dahl / 81 pages / Day of the Dead Challenge

I listened to this fantastic read-aloud on audio-CD.  Read by the author himself, it was an absolute delight!  Mr. Fox steals from the meanest farmers around to feed his family.  The three - fat Boggis with his prize-winning fowl; short, troll-like Bunce with his ducks and geese; and lean, mean Bean with apple cider, have teamed up to capture Mr. Fox.  They intend to barricade and guard the entrance to his home, preventing future raids and starving his family.  Mr. Fox, however, is much too clever for this and devises a plan of his won to thwart his enemies and reward his friends.
