    The illustrator is Quentin Blake. An illustrator is someone draws pictures in a book.

    The blurb is a short paragraph on the back cover of a book which tells you some information about the book. It is useful because it will you give you an idea of whether you will enjoy reading the book.

    In the story the main character is fantastic Mr fox and his f family.

    T he fantastic Mr fox is a c lever, cunning and sneaky character who likes to steal food from the f armers.
