If Mr. Fox’s late‑night raids on Boggis’s chickens and Bean’s cider made you grin, you’ll love how Pod, Homily, and Arrietty sneak sugar cubes, pins, and scraps from the "human beans" to survive. Like Fox’s tunnel capers and the grand underground feast with Badger and the others, the Clock family’s daring borrowings turn necessity into a spirited, stealthy adventure.

You enjoyed how Mr. Fox keeps his cool under fire—dodging tractors, digging escape tunnels, and cooking up a plan to outwit Boggis, Bunce, and Bean. In The BFG, Sophie and the Big Friendly Giant hatch an equally cheeky scheme to stop the man‑gobbling giants, with glorious gobblefunk wordplay and comic set pieces that echo the sly fun of Mr. Fox’s chicken‑house raids and cider‑cellar triumph.

If you rooted for Mr. Fox even while he pilfered hens and cider—because he’s clever, devoted to his family, and up against bullies—then Artemis’s audacious plan to kidnap a fairy officer will hook you. Like Fox outsmarting Boggis, Bunce, and Bean at every turn, Artemis spars with Captain Holly Short and the LEPrecon with dazzling tricks and a wicked grin.

The way Mr. Fox, Mrs. Fox, and Badger band together—digging their grand tunnel network and sharing the feast—captures a cozy, close‑quarters bond. In Charlotte’s Web, Wilbur’s friends rally just as tightly: Charlotte spins her clever web messages to outwit the butcher’s plans, echoing the intimate teamwork and heart you liked in the foxes’ underground community.

If the nonstop pace of Mr. Fox’s dig‑or‑die getaway—dodging shotgun blasts, tunneling fast, and pulling off back‑to‑back raids—kept you turning pages, this will too. A dad popping out for milk ends up racing through time with a stegosaurus in a hot‑air balloon, escaping aliens and pirates in a cascade of wild, rapid‑fire scrapes that mirrors Mr. Fox’s headlong momentum.
