I would highly recommend this Roald Dahl book. To be fair, I haven’t seen the movie in a while.

Fox is just too short for a movie, so they had to add a whole bunch new things into the movie, and none of it has the sheer genius of Roald Dahl. There was a movie made of it in 2009, and I saw some of it on a flight when it came out, but I don’t think it did this amazing book justice. It’s not laugh-out-loud funny, but it’s pretty entertaining. So this whimsical book is perfect for reading aloud or for just reading in a few minutes for some fun. Plus, a lot of space is covered by some pretty good illustrations (by Quentin Blake).
