Fantastic Mr. Fox
One book I enjoy
Fantastic Mr. Fox is about a family of foxes living underground, Mr. Fox raids the human farm next door to get food. This doesn't go over well with the humans. They hire a digging company to excavate out the foxes. Will Mr. Fox and his family get out alive? This book is really good and interesting, and also has a great movie to watch with it.
