Eggstremely good, 2008-12-08
I have 3 kids, and I read a lot of children's books. But I have never before seen fit to review one of them on Amazon...until now. This is the story of a flock of terrified fowl that rise up to beat their arch enemy - the foxes. I always think the sign of a great fantasy book is that it envelopes you in such a way that even ludicrous occurrences seem entirely possible. The final battle scene had me frantically turning the pages to see what would happen next - brilliant. Dick King-Smith writes with elegance I've rarely come across in a children's author before, perhaps even beating the great CS Lewis. As a result of his long, flowing sentences, my 6-year old found this book tough going though, even to listen to. Probably better read to a 8-9 year old, or perhaps for a 11-12 year old to tackle alone.

This is an absolutley FANTASTIC book, you may superficially think it is all about chickens and foxes, but look again...The three sisters, Ransom, Simms and Jeffries are "THE FOX-BUSTERS" and they will rid the farm of the long noses that have been the bane of their lives for so many years. An enjoyable book for all agegroups from 6year olds to parents reading it without their children, Smiths tale is full of all the best qualities, adventure daring and the obvious - good fighting evil. What more can you need from a book? I personaly love the small extra facts that Smith uses such as "foul language" and "flock law" whic just make a whole experience worth more! You'll find yourself reading it again and again...
