Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl
In this children's novel, a clever and resourceful fox named Mr. Fox lives with his family underground beside a trio of mean and wealthy farmers named Boggis, Bunce, and Bean. When the farmers have had enough of Mr. Fox stealing their livestock to feed his family, they unite in a vengeful pursuit to capture and kill him. Despite being trapped underground without food, the cunning Mr. Fox devises a plan to outwit the farmers, digging tunnels to their individual farms to steal food. His ingenuity not only ensures the survival and prosperity of his own family but also saves his fellow animal friends, leading to a celebratory feast and the outsmarting of the spiteful farmers.
