Think about it… 

Why do we want Mr. Fox to outfox the farmers? 

Isn’t it wrong that Mr. Fox has been stealing from them? 

 Why might it be OK for Mr. Fox to take their chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys? 

At the end of chapter 10, Mr. Fox wants to make “a few other little arrangements”.  What do you think he is planning?

After reading chapters 1-3, answer the following questions: 

How has Mr. Fox been outfoxing all three farmers and stealing their animals?  Who do you think is smarter, the farmers or Mr. Fox?  Did the farmers outfox Mr. Fox in chapter 3? 

I wonder who is going to be “outfoxed” in the end!

After reading the blurb, what are you thinking?  Can you make a guess why Mr. Fox is called fantastic?  What does it mean to “outfox” someone?

 

Have chapter 3 completed by Friday night for the next blogging activity on Saturday.

We stopped reading when Barry is in Abe’s floating house with Cruze.  How do you think the book is going to end?  Do you think Barry is going to get reunited with his family?  Make a prediction.
