This was a decent and cute middle grade read. It is a very quick story, less than 100 pages. It reads quite simply and is a perfect tale for the younger middle grade set. The story is whimsical and clever, though I do think that the term fantastic may be expecting a little too much. There is nothing terribly mind blowing in the plot, it is just following the foxes as they try to outwit the farmers. I will say that it was entertaining and did have me laughing out loud in a few places. This would work very well as a comfort read and is likely a great choice for a bedtime chapter read with younger children.
