Fantastic Mr Fox, Chapter 13

Why did Mr Fox not want to talk about what happened to his tail when Badger asked him about it?

• He was too busy digging.

• He didn't think it was any of Badger's business.

• He didn't hear him.

• It brought back painful memories for him.

Whose farm did Mr Fox and Badger arrive at first?

• Farmer Bean's

• Farmer Bunce's

• Farmer Boggis'

Quickly Badger and the three Small Foxes scrambled up after him.

What does the word 'scrambled' tell us about how they were feeling?

• They were clumsy climbers and were scared of falling.

• They were excited and wanted to get in to the store quickly.

• They were tired and couldn't climb properly.

Why did the animals not take lots of food from the store?

• So that the farmers didn't realise they had been stealing from them.

• Because they didn't have enough hands to carry everything.

• Because they didn't like what was in the store.

• Because they were caught stealing.

Why did one of the small foxes ask for carrots?

• He loved vegetables.

• He thought carrots would be nice in a salad.

• He wanted to make sure the rabbit family had food to eat.

• He was too lazy to carry anything heavy so asked for something light!

Soon, all this lovely loot was lying in a neat heap upon the floor. The Small Foxes crouched close, their noses twitching, their eyes shining like stars.

What does this tell us about the foxes (pick as many as you think are correct)

• They were being very patient.

• They were very excited.

• They were bored.

• They were angry.

How did the small foxes carry the loot from Bunce's store back to their mum?

• In their arms.

• In a push-cart.

• In a big bag.

• In their pockets.

Which families did Mr Fox say were coming to the feast?

The....

• Badgers, Moles, Rabbits, Sparrows.

• Badgers, Moles, Rabbits, Weasels.

• Badgers, Wolves, Rabbits, Weasels.

• Badgers, Moles, Goats, Weasels.

Where do you PREDICT Mr FOx and his crew will go next while the two small foxes take the food back to Mrs Fox?

• The supermarket.

• Home, to shower and get ready for the feast.

• Farmer Bean's cider cellar

• Back to Mrs Fox.
