Fantastic Mr. Fox, by Roald Dahl

I thought it was about time I reread this one, before I wander off to the movie theatre. 

A good romp, but generally I like a story with a little more meat to it.  Probably why I've been reading so many more teen than children's books in the last year.  I'm also not as good at disengaging my logical mind while reading the ridiculous as I used to be.  Particular gripes: I thought the other animals should be a little more upset with Mr. Fox than they were, and Mr. Fox's solution seems short sighted. 

I wonder how I felt when I read this as a child.
