Or Mr. Fox would do something???

Personal response : I like it!! Mr. Fox is Fantastic!! As I wrote, Roald Dahl's books have irony of adults. This book wasn't exception. The three formers were written like really syupid, selfish, ugly... and other many bad expression. This book probably told us that don't be bad adults, and be good. I LOVE it!!
