Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl (1916-1990) es un autor justamente famoso por su extraordinario ingenio, su destreza narrativa, su dominio del humor negro y su inagotable capacidad de sorpresa, que llevó a Hitchcock a adaptar para la televisión muchos de sus relatos. En Anagrama se han publicado la novela "Mi tío Oswald" y los libros de cuentos "El gran cambiazo" (Gran Premio del Humor Negro), "Historias extraordinarias", "Relatos de lo inesperado" y "Dos fábulas". En otra faceta, Roald Dahl goza de una extraordinaria popularidad como autor de libros para niños.

Reviews for Mr Cadno Campus

[bookbrig-1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I like the baby foxes best. They remembered the carrots! Also, all the talk of bacon made me hungry. NOM!

[livingtech_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Colleen rated this book 4 and 1/2 stars at first saying she didn't like a little bit of it. Then she changed her mind and said it was 5 stars and that nothing really bad happens in it. It was perfect, she said. But she also said she didn't want me to write down her review.

My son loved to be grossed out by Farmer Bean's filthy, buggy, waxy ears.

[jrthebutler · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The story is about Mr. Fox and how he outwits his farmer neighbours to steal their food from right under their noses.

[shahnareads · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A cute, funny story. Glad I finally read it. I enjoyed the film, I didn't know at the time that it was a Roald Dahl story. So when I found out I got super excited about it. Probably one of my favourites.

[pattyhoward · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Fantastic Mr. Fox is a quick, clever, funny novel that is perfect for kids who don't want to read traditional chapter books (think Magic Treehouse) anymore, but who need something on basically the same level. This is one of my absolute favorite stories. It can easily be read in under an hour, and probably by most 2nd grade readers, but is so deliciously Dahl that older students will love revisiting it!

[trayceetee · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Love Raold Dahl--he's brilliant! The book is great--I loved the movie when I saw it several years ago. Have slowly been chipping away at reading Dahl's works. This one will rank up in my favorites!!!

[sumisbooks · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Not Dahl's best work but still a fun little tale... LOL

[lissabeth21 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

We loved this book! A bit rough around the edges for my six year old, explaining and discussing the ethical dilemmas: is stealing okay if you're feeding your family?, is shooting an animal ok if they are threatening your livestock?, do they nasty farmers deserve to have their goods stolen since they are such gross meanies? That is of course what makes it a classic right!

A very cute book to read aloud to kids. Although it's a young reader's chapter book, there's a small illustration on nearly every page, which keeps it entertaining for the under seven crowd. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I think it's especially cute for boys because there's lots of digging, chasing, guns, and heavy equipment.

I've seen several movies based on Dahl's work. We all know Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. However, prior to this book, I'd never read Dahl's work. It was cute, fast paced, and entertaining. My family loves the movie of the Fantastic Mr. Fox, and we were curious about the differences in Dahl's book and the Wes Anderson's film. Anderson certainly added his own style to the work, but stays true to the spirit of the story. Dahl's plot is much shorter and there's less character development for anyone but Mr. Fox.

I noticed that some parents were concerned about the drinking of hard cider in the story. I was a little surprised that even one of Mr. Fox's children partakes, although behind his dad's back. But, as Dahl is from Wales, you have to take this scene with a grain of salt. From my understanding, having known people from Wales, tobacco products are considered much worse in Wales than alcohol. They see it as something that compliments a meal and not for sake of pure drunkenness. Ultimately, it's up to parents to decide what their kids are ready for. It could be a good opportunity to talk about drinking or American culture vs. European culture.

such a nice little book

[kemilyh1988 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I got this for Christmas and read it before I opened any of my presents. The movie is also worth 5 stars!

[chazzifrazz · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I wanted something fun to read and chose this. I couldn't stop till I finished it.

Mr. Fox is up against the three meanest farmers in the area. They are out to get him for stealing and they won't stop till they do! But they aren't aware of how skilled and tricky Mr. Fox is!

The three farmers each try to catch him but have no luck, so they decide to band together. They are not awayr of how sly Mr. Fox is. Not only does he want to save his family, he also wants to help the other forest creatures survive the meanness of the three farmers.

By Mr. Fox's cunning and wit he is able to help his woodland neighbours trick and survive the three farmers.

Told with humour and illustrated by Quentin Blake, this is a fun read for child and adult.

One of my favourite books as a child. I lost count of the number of times I read it.

great story, great movie

[bagpuss-3 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Mr Fox lives with his wife and children on the hillside near to three incompetent farmers – Boggis, Bunce and Bean. He’s a cunning hunter (well, he is a fox!) who provides amply for his family, much to the irritation of the farmers, from whose farms he gets his supplies. Boggis, Bunce and Bean have had enough, and they vow to starve the fox family out of their den. But Mr Fox has a plan – and together with the other inhabitants of the hill he plans a feast fit for kings. Will Fox’s plan prevail or will the farmers achieve their aim?

I enjoyed this Dahl book very much, and as ever I adore the Quentin Blake illustrations.

[alaina.loescher · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Unfortunately, this was not my favorite Roald Dahl story. However, I do think that it teaches the wonderful lesson of working together to accomplish tasks and always helping those that you can. Usually, I love that Dahl's stories create a new world that I wish I could be part of, however, this story does not transplant me to that other world as the other ones have. In addition, I do not like that the story in many ways over glorifies alcohol consumption and I do not think that it is appropriate to read this story to children as the young foxes in the book drink hard cider and are enamored by it. I think this would be a fun story to read out loud to kids, as it is short and the lessons it teaches advocate for group work to solve problems while also being your own savior, however, the alcohol consumption would have to be addressed.

Loved this book. very witty.

[themulhern · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Short, fast book, with a very good tone. The author's reading is excellent. Since the book is short, it reaches the end very quickly; as with other Dahl books that I can remember, the end is unsatisfying.

[sturlington_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Three mean farmers try to starve out a fox and his family, but the Fantastic Mr. Fox gets the better of them.This is a short and funny tale, with clear bad guys -- the three farmers, one fat, one short, one lean, all with disgusting eating habits -- and clear good guys -- the fox family and the other underground critters. Mr. Fox steals chickens, geese and ducks from the farms, but we're rooting for him anyway, because he clearly is so much more sophisticated and dapper than his human foes, who only want to kill him. This story doesn't have as much substance as James and the Giant Peach or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but it is great fun to read aloud and a must for all Dahl fans.Read aloud to my son (2015).

[amrahmn · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Funny story of very clever, chicken-stealing Fantastic Mr. Fox and how he outsmarts three awful farmers. Dahl does a wonderful job of portraying Boggis, Bunce, and Bean and disgusting, rude, and horrible. They deserve to be stolen from! Mr. Fox is a wonderful husband, father, and friend to other animals. I would definitely use this with a Roald Dahl unit - he really knows how characterize the villains of the story!

[silverthistle · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Fantastic Mr Fox translated into Scots edition. Don't know about the English version, haven't read that one but this one in my own language is hilarious! :)

[ajfurman · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I appreciate how this book takes a fox, who can usually be stereotypically be viewed as a mean creature, and makes him the protagonist. The farmers, who are usually viewed as upstanding citizens, are portrayed in a more negative light. The fox is stealing from the farmers in creative ways and the farmers repeatedly try and stop him. This book does a good job of creating a young hearted story and making it challenging and interesting so that is is not too simple or an easy read. Even though it is only 91 pages, there is a lot of great vocabulary and writing found throughout that will help children grow. The main purpose of this book is to show how smartness and cunning are attributes that can be used to overcome those trying to keep you down.

[nosajeel · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Relatively thin but also amusing to read aloud to the children.

[aomizuno · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This book is about a fox who lives near 3 farms.He has a family and they eat animals in the farms.But the farmers didn't want him to do it,so one day, they set a scary animal track for him.But he was really clever, so they couldn't catch him.This book was amazing. I liked this book very much.

[dms02 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Just finished reading this to my 5 year old. Not sure I would have read it too her at an earlier age. Fun to read along as the clever Mr. Fox tries to outwit the seemingly dimwitted farmers and keep his family fed and safe. The word stupid and fat are used a bit through the story as well as use of guns. There is also a chicken getting its head eaten off by Mr. Fox. Too harsh - perhaps? But for kids who know "the circle of life" and tales of real world farming - I didn't find it too bad.

[laura225_1 · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

A book about a fox stealing from 3 farmers. He succeeds.

[jwarren42 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Fox's utopic vision is the dream of the middle-class white parent: the safe, controlled space. He outfoxes the farmers, and this feels like justice, but the end result is the survivalist plan. A fantastic study of the non-science-fiction utopia.

[amberthehuman · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I actually hadn't read this before seeing the recent movie ... which now seems odd to me. Oh well. It's an amusing tale. The ending is fun. Moar Roald Dahl!

[rata_4 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

A great read for those kids that are just learning to read a short chapter book. This delightful story is Mr Fox and how he outwits 3 mean brothers. Every time Mr Fox steals a chicken from the farm, Farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean (3 mean brothers) grow wild with rage! They're the nastiest crooks in the valley, and they've concocted a cunning plan to dig him out of his hole once and for all. But it never occurs to them that Mr Fox has a fantastic plan of his own. This book guaranteed to delight Dahl readers.
