Book magic,
By MonkGroupie "MonkGroupie" (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mouse House (Hardcover)
This is special! It has a gentleness, and love of tiny creatures reminiscent of Beatrix Potter. It also depicts real animals as infinitely more beautiful than their toy counterparts, and it reminds us that there is plenty of room to share with...well, take your pick: other animals, other people who may be less fortunate than ourselves. This story is replete with lessons for charity, kindness, tolerance, the wonder of life, the fact that toys - and other gadgets - are really not so important for one's happiness. The surprise is that it's all so poetic and subtle that there is not a trace of moralistic dogma in the entire story.
5.0 out of 5 stars
a favorite from my youth,

This review is from: Mouse House (Hardcover)
While this copy was once a library book, it is WONDERFUL to revisit a story I loved so much as a kid. The illustrations are better than I remembered.
