Чудесная весёленькая книженция. Из простого сюжета Даль сотворил интересную историю, и так здорово, что мне захотелось перечитать другие его книги. Пятиклассникам и шестиклассникам книжка тоже нравится.

А что касается нравственных ценностей, типа книга учит детей воровству и обману, то Даль в ней сам всё объясняет:

Suddenly Badger said, "Doesn't this worry you just a tiny bit, Foxy?"
"Worry me?" said Mr. Fox. "What?"
"All this.. this stealing."
<...>
"Look," said Mr. Fox, "Boggis and Bunce and Bean are out to kill us. You realize that, I hope?"
"I do, Foxy, I do indeed," said the gentle Badger.
"But we're not going to stoop to their level. We don't want to kill them."
"I should hope not, indeed," said Badger.
"We wouldn't dream of it," said Mr. Fox. "We shall simply take a little food here and there to keep us and our families alive. Right?"
"I suppose we'll have to," said Badger.
"If they want to be horrible, let them," said Mr. Fox. "We down here are decent peace-loving people."
Badger laid his head on one side and smiled at Mr. Fox. "Foxy," he said, "I love you."
